Directions
Cake Ingredients1.5 cups sugar1/2 cup brown sugar1/2 cup vegetable oil6 eggs6 tablespoons orange juice2 teaspoons minced orange zest1/2 teaspoon salt1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon1 cup matzo cake meal1 cup chopped almonds2 cups chopped walnutsSoaking syrup ingredients1 2/3 cups sugar1/2 cup honey2/3 cup orange juice1/2 cup water2 tablespoons lemon juice1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease or spray 13x9 inch baking pan. Using a wire whisk, beat the granulated sugar & brown sugar with the oil and eggs until the mixture is thick and pale yellow. Stirr in the remaining batter ingredients, then turn the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the top is light brown and set. Cool for at least 20 minutes. Meanwhile prepare the soaking syrup.
In a medium saucepan combine the syrup ingredients. Heat to dissolve the sugar and simmer for 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes syrupy. Cool well.
Pour the cooled syrup over the cooled cake, poke holes in the cake with a fork to permit the syrup to penetrate. (Or you could cut the cake into small pieces first, then pour the syrup over). Allow the cake to stand for 2-4 hours to absorb the syrup.
