Separate eggs. Beat whites until stiff with 1/2 cup sugar. Set aside.
Mix egg yolks, 1/2 cup sugar, lemon juice, water, potato starch, and nuts. Fold in egg whites. Add sliced apples last. Bake in greased wonder-baker for approximately 45 minutes over very low flame. Invert over bottle to cool.
Looks good and tastes good...might add a little cinnamon or ginger next time. Definitely will bake again! Thank you and chag kasher vsameach. Reply

No. You seem to have skipped folding the yolk mixture into the whipped whites. They should produce a uniform, homogeneous mixture before putting in the sliced apples. In a conventional oven, I would try 180 C. and check after 40 minutes.

1. can this be baked in an oven and if so at what temperature and time? 2.can the sugar be substituted with splenda at Passover? Reply
Sugar Just wondering why sugar is not kosher for passover? I've always used sugar for passover desserts. Why would it be considered hometz? I have also used spices that are not, in my humble opinion, kosher for passover. Please enlighten me. Reply
Reghular tube pan What are the instructions if you bake is a regular tube pan? Reply
WonderPot Description
See my Apr 24, 2008 post (WonderPot) above. A WonderPot is sometimes loosely translated as a Wonder Baker. 'Wonder Pot' is the literal translation.
Happy Passover!

I tried this today and it turned out OK. Is it normal to have all the potato starch (flour) and nuts on the bottom and the marange on top. Is this correct.
I cooked it at 150 Cel for 40 minutes

apple sponge cake what is a "wonder-baker" and what constitutes as low flame? Reply
cake flopped Due to greasing of the pan when I inverted the cake to cool, the cake fell out of the pan and then proceeded to deflate. :( Reply

WonderPot
A WonderPot was a very common item in Israeli kitchens in the past...It looks rather like a tube pan (like for an angel cake or a Bundt pan), but it also has a cover and is placed on a burner on the stove. Thus, it's something like a stove-top oven for people who have kitchen burners but not an oven....I haven't seen them on sale for many years, but they appeared in some supermarkets this year for Passover--great if you don't want to have to Pesah-kosher your regular oven....It's also great in the summer when you don't want a hot oven going on a hot day (it's 90 degrees in Jerusalem today!)...
Happy Passover/Pesah!

Pesach apple sponge cake What is a 'wonder baker'....and what is a very low flame? As to the flame i can confer C to F if necessary. Thank you in advance. The recipe sounds great but guessing about your baking pan and temperature could turn out to be total destruction and a waste of food.
