Passover sweets

Posted by Margalit

Trying to find Passover pastry recipes can be tricky. Most regular recipes aren't adaptable for baking, and those recipes that are used year to year can be, well, um...dry.

But these brownies are good!

Raspberry Brownies (suitable for Ashkenazim)

Nonstick vegetable spray
16 Tablespoons “light” olive oil
12 Tablespoons cocoa
4 (large) eggs
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup raspberry or strawberry jam
1 cup cake meal (like matzah meal, but more finely ground)

Preheat oven to 325. Spray 9″ x 13″ inch shallow metal pan with nonstick spray.

Combine ingredients in a large bowl and blend well.

Bake brownies until tester inserted comes out with moist crumbs attached, about 18-20 minutes.

If these are not moist enough for you, I would suggest either upping the amount of jam or adding a little more olive oil (a teaspoon). The original (nonpesach) recipe calls for berry liqueur–if available that’s nice too (a tablespoon or 2).
