Yield Makes about 32 squares

Number Of Ingredients 15

For syrup
1 cup honey
2/3 cup water
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
For cake
2 cups almonds
2 cups sugar
1 cup matzo cake meal
1 cup matzo meal
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
6 large eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon grated lemon peel

Steps:

  • Make syrup:
  • Combine all ingredients in heavy medium saucepan. Stir over medium-low heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat and boil 1 minute. Cool.
  • Make cake:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Oil 13 x 9 x 2-inch metal baking pan. Finely grind almonds and 1/2 cup sugar in processor; transfer to medium bowl. Whisk in matzo cake meal, matzo meal, cinnamon and allspice. Using electric mixer, beat eggs and remaining 1 1/2 cups sugar in large bowl until very thick and pale in color, about 10 minutes. Beat in oil and lemon peel. Fold in almond mixture. Transfer batter to prepared pan.
  • Bake cake until tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Cut hot cake into 32 squares; leave in pan. Drizzle cooled syrup over. Let stand until syrup is absorbed, at least 30 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Cool, cover and store at room temperature.)
