It\u2019s light, airy, fluffy and delicious. You can make it ahead, with or without the cream topping, and it\u2019s simply the best. This nut cake has such an amazing texture that almost addictive and serving it as a dessert after the holiday feast will please everyone for sure. You can easily make this nut cake nondairy by replacing the cream with coconut cream.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">The original recipe comes from the book &#8220;Cakes for All Time&#8221; by Nira Shoyer, but I made quite a lot adjustments and changes.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_20426\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-20426\" class=\"wp-image-20426\" title=\"Nut Cake for Passover\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lilcookie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/nostalgic_nut_cake_for_passover6-s.jpg\" alt=\"Nut Cake for Passover\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-20426\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Natalie Levin<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6091382327871787\" data-ad-slot=\"7832461759\" data-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p><!--WPRM Recipe 20433--><\/p>\n<div class=\"wprm-fallback-recipe\">\n<h2 class=\"wprm-fallback-recipe-name\">Nut Cake for Passover<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wprm-fallback-recipe-summary\">\n<div class=\"wprm-fallback-recipe-equipment\">\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"wprm-fallback-recipe-ingredients\">\n<h4>For the cake:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>5 large eggs (separated and at room temperature)<\/li>\n<li>200 grams (1 cup) sugar<\/li>\n<li>Pinch of salt<\/li>\n<li>45 ml.
