Kefir Kommunity

Happy Passover to all of our Jewish customers! We know how challenging it can be to adhere to the dietary restrictions during this week-long holiday: Nothing leavened. No bread. No pasta. Nothing that rises or ferments. It’s like a religiously-affiliated Atkins Diet.

1. Combine 3/4 c sugar, matzo cake meal & orange zest in bowl.
2. Beat egg whites and salt in large mixer bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining 1 cup sugar, 1/4 cup at a time, alternating with orange juice. Beat well after each addition. Continue beating until stiff peaks form.
3. Fold in matzo meal mixture, 1/4 at a time.
4. Use 15 under-and-over strokes for each addition, slightly turning the bowl after each stroke. Fold an additional 10 strokes.
5. Pour batter into ungreased 10 inch tube pan.
6. Bake at 325 degrees 50 minutes to an hour, or until cake springs back to touch.
7. Remove from oven, immediately invert pan & cool.
8. Cut cake in 1-inch fingers.
9. Let stand uncovered for a few hours to slightly dry out. (Trifle is usually made with stale cake.)

11. Arrange about 1/2 the sliced fruit on and around cake fingers.
12. Pour over 1/2 of the kefir.
13. Add another layer of cake fingers.
14. Pour over remaining pudding.
15. Cover and refrigerate until fully chilled and ready to serve.
