BAKING FOR PASSOVER
Passover baking can be tricky since many flours, baking soda, and baking powder
are usually not used. Instead of flour, matzo meal (finely ground matzo) and potato starch give this cake its
structure, just like the gluten in flour. Instead of baking powder, lots of whipped eggs give this cake its rise.
