Pesach 1-2-3 Cake

This beloved cake is the definition of simple done right. Wonderfully moist with a tender crumb and vibrant citrus flavor, it comes together easily and bakes into two beautiful loaves. A generous dusting of confectioners’ sugar is all it needs — classic, comforting, and always a hit.

Yields 2 (10 x 5-inch) loaf cakes

1h 10
Easy Vegetarian Pescatarian Gluten Free Passover Parve

Contains: Tree nuts, Egg

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line two 10×5-inch loaf pans with Gefen Parchment Paper. Leave some overhang for easy removal. (If using a 9×5-inch loaf pan take off about 3/4 cup batter and use as a mini cake or muffin. If using paper loaf pan, no parchment paper is needed.)

  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, sugar, pudding mix, and baking powder.

  3. Add the eggs and gently whisk. When the mixture is about halfway combined, pour in the orange juice. Mix just until fully incorporated. Do not overmix.

  4. Let the batter sit for a few minutes to thicken slightly.

  5. Pour into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake until the center is set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

  6. Let the loaf cool in the pan for a short time, then lift it out using the parchment and cool completely. Once fully cooled, dust the top lightly with confectioners’ sugar before serving.

Unfortunately, I don't know of a Pesach substitute for pudding mix :(
