Passover Time

While I wasn't planning on posting this recipe just yet, I realized that some of you might need to order ingredients for Passover, and it might be a good idea to just give you an idea of what you should order.

This is a fairly easy chocolate cherry cake.  If you think you  might like to make it, here are some of the ingredients you might want to order:

chopped pecans (you need 1 cup, or more if you want to pat some around the cake sides
matzo cake meal (you need 1/4 cup)
semisweet chocolate, chopped  or chips (24 ounces)
sugar (1 cup)
non-dairy Topping (such as Unger's Whip or Haddar)
powdered sugar (5 tablespoons)
cherry preserves (2 jars 778 brand)

I was really excited to see what's available for Passover this year online:

http://www.choclat.com/ has lots of Passover chocolates - both for baking and for eating.  You need to order by April 11th

http://www.ohnuts.com/ has all kinds of nuts, including cashews, pistachios, filberts, pecans, etc.  They also have chocolate chips, cocoa, coconut, any kind of dried fruit, sundried tomatoes, etc.

http://www.aviglatt.com/  has brown sugar

http://www.allinkosher.com/ has cashew butter and both Haddar and Ungers nondairy topping liquid (frozen). 

Take advantage of all of these great products that you can get online these days and make something different!!

I'll be posting my recipe in the next two weeks, and I'll also have an easy but elegant cookie posted at wwwkoshereye.com (probably mid-Passover week).  Almond Ganache Sandwiches are pareve and are made without any special ingredients that you would have to order - perfect for mid-week entertaining, lunch boxes and family dessert.  You might also find my Passover Macaroon recipe there.  It's a great site, so take a look!
