Ingredients
Cake Batter
- 3 large eggs
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup neutral flavored oil such as sunflower oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup almond flour
- ½ cup matzo cake meal
- ¼ cup potato starch
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Passover approved baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- ½ cup chopped walnuts
Cinnamon Streusel Topping
- ⅓ cup almond flour
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons oil
- 2 tablespoons matzo cake meal
Instructions
Get The Pan Ready
- Warm the oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare an 8×8-inch pan by lining it with parchment or giving it a light coat of oil.
Mix The Streusel
- Stir together the almond flour, sugar, cinnamon, oil, and matzo cake meal in a small bowl. Use a fork to blend everything until it forms loose, crumbly bits. Set it aside for later.
Combine The Wet Ingredients
- In a large mixing bowl, whip the eggs and sugar until the mixture looks pale and slightly thickened. Pour in the oil and vanilla and mix until smooth, then stir in the applesauce.
Bring The Dry Ingredients Together
- In another bowl, whisk the almond flour, matzo cake meal, potato starch, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Add this dry blend to the wet mixture and gently fold until everything is just combined.
Add The Good Stuff
- Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts. Spread half the batter into your prepared pan. Scatter half of the streusel over the top, then add the rest of the batter and finish with the remaining streusel.
Bake It
- Bake for 40–45 minutes, until the top turns a warm golden colour and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let it cool completely before cutting it into squares.
