Recipe for flourless/gluten-free apple-ginger-nut cake
Serious Mealtimes / Vicky Wasik
Every year on the first night of Passover Jews around the world gather at the seder table to tell the story of our ancestors’ exodus from Egypt. While it’s a night steeped in both religious and cultural significance in my house it’s also unashamedly about the food. There are a few predictable crowd favorites—the crunchy-sweet apple-and-walnut concoction called charoset; juicy tender brisket; and tzimmes a slow-cooked vegetable stew—as well as armloads of bland cracker-like matzo and the perennial outcast gefilte fish.
The meal ends with a spirited chant and often a big disappointment: Passover dessert two words that are never uttered in the same breath with any tension. Because observant Jews abstain from chametz or grains combined with leavening agents during the eight days of Passover and Jews who keep kosher must also wait at least an hour to eat dairy products after eating meat both dairy and grains are often prescribed for dessert with results that I have always found to be mediocre at best. More often than not a matzo meal cake graces the holiday table; honestly I have never had a good one.
