Passover French Toast Ingredients
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- Zest from 1 lemon
- Zest from 1 orange
- 8 slices Passover Citrus Sponge Cake (recipe below)

Instructions
To Make Passover Citrus Sponge Cake
- Preheat the oven to 325F. Grease a 10 inch bunt cake or angel food cake pan.
- Beat the 12 egg yolks in a mixing bowl until frothy. Add the sugar and whisk until combined, then whisk in the lemon and orange zest along with the orange juice.
- In a small mixing bowl, sift together the potato starch and cake meal. Add the dry ingredients to the egg yolks, stirring gently to combine. Next, using an electric mixer on high speed, beat the egg whites (from 12 eggs) until they are stiff and shiny. Use a rubber spatula to gently fold the egg whites into the batter, 1/3 of the mixture at a time, until incorporated. Do not fold more than necessary.
- Finally pour the batter into the cake pan and bake for an hour to an hour and 10 minutes, or until the cake has set and a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean. Remove the cake from the oven and immediately invert it onto a plate. Let it sit in the pan until completely cooled before removing the cake pan from the cake.

To Make Passover French Toast
- Combine the milk, eggs, and citrus zest in a mixing bowl. Heat a skillet over medium-high. Once hot, add and melt the 2 tbsp of butter. Dip and soak the slices of Passover citrus sponge cake into the egg batter and place them into the hot skillet. Fry for 3 to 4 minutes on the first side (or until golden brown), flip, and continue to cook for another 2 to 3 minutes on the other side. When the French toast has browned on both sides, remove from the skillet.
- Serve the French toast over orange slices and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar.
