The Complete Passover Cookbook

By Frances R. Avrutick
Jonathan David Publishers - 1981

29th March 2010

Brownies : page 349

For Passover brownies, these are decent enough. The only thing is that they need to bake for 40 minutes (not 30 minutes) until done. They taste pretty good, but, of course, they're tiny if you cut an 8"square pan baked item into 16 squares.

Carrot Cake : page 280

This is a wonderful and moist Passover dessert. I made some changes that I think enhanced the cake. In addition to the ingredients stated in the recipe, I added 1/2 tsp nutmeg and 2 tsp Passover vanilla. I also increased the cinnamon to 1 1/2 tsp. To make this cake easier to serve, I baked it in a greased 9x12 pan at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Finally, I topped the cake (after it cooled) with the Basic Icing Glaze on page 298 and sprinkled the glaze (before it hardened) with some finely ground walnuts. This cake was a hit!
