Notes

• A Passover cake — uses matzo cake meal and potato starch in place of wheat flour. Contains no leavening agents, making it suitable for Passover.
• The recipe specifies both the slicing disc and the steel knife blade of a food processor.
• 'Cake Meal' in a Passover recipe = matzo cake meal (finely ground unleavened matzo).
