  • 1/2 cup oil

Succulent Pastrami

  • 1 can  Gefen Tomato Sauce or 1/2 large can tomato paste diluted with 2 times that amount water 

  • 2 tablespoons Gefen Honey

  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar

Beat the egg whites with the sugar. Combine the yolks with the rest of the ingredients.

If you top the cake with something else that’s not so spicy, such as vegetarian liver, you might want to add more seasoning to it.
