After having used the etrog for a mitzva on Sukkot we try to figure out what to do with our esrogim after Sukkot.This cakes tastes delightful with a hint of etrog to help us savor the taste of Sukkot a little longer.
Recipe updated August 2022
Grate the esrog peel and juice lemon and lime and whatever juice you can squeeze from the esrog (strain to remove membranes and seeds). Reserve one tablespoon juice and etrog peel for the glaze.
Beat eggs, sugar, and vanilla sugar until light and lemon in color, about 10 minutes.
Gradually incorporate flour mixture into the eggs, gently mixing after each addition. Add the oil, again gently mixing. Do not overbeat.
Blend together glaze ingredients, the reserved citrus mixture, and etrog peel.
Something is wrong with this recipe In step 5 it says to add all ingredients by “alternating flour mixture with egg mixture” . There is nothing to alternate the flour with. We tried just adding the flour mixture and it almost caused our mixer to stall. Only when we added the oil did we get something resembling a batter that could be manipulated. Also there is way too much orange juice for the glaze. I think that the 1 c of orange juice that is said to be for the glaze is what should be added alternately with the flour mixture and the tbs only for the glaze. The cake as made was edible but the glaze was useless, with the consistency of orange juice and not glaze like at all when the full cup of orange juice was used.
Hi Marcia. Let me check into that for you.
vanilla sugar sorry one more question when does the vanillla sugar go in. its not mentioned in the directions. thank you
Add it with the regular sugar.
missing something was left out after 3 eggs 1 1/2 cups and it doesnt say of what????
just wondering, based off of the reviews and previous questions, does the 1 cup + 1 TBSP orange juice belong in the glaze or in the citrus mixture of the cake? plz. clarify as i’d love to give it a try this coming sukkot!
tnx
Hi! The recipe is being fixed. We are recommending between 1-2 TBSP of orange juice in the glaze. Start off with one and slowly add another until it’s at the right consistency.
The cake is good, but you need a lot less orange juice
Hi! You are right, and the recipe is being fixed. We are recommending between 1-2 TBSP of orange juice in the glaze. Start off with one and slowly add another until it’s at the right consistency.
hi marcia you are right about the orange juice and someone said they would check into it 3 years ago but they never did so i made the cake again like an idiot without checking the questions to see i made it 3 years ago and it is a horrible recipe because something was left out or instructjions are wrong doesnt anyone check these recipes before they print them and now people have to waste so many ingredients
hi marcia me again A YEAR LATER. doesnt anyone check these reviews you still did not fix the recipe its not 1 cup and 1 tblsp orange juice for the glaze . the one cup of orange juice goes into the cake. please fix this before someone makes the same mistake again.
