Pound cake - from Morrisons Supermarket, cake recipe, and other 'kosher for Passover' cookery


If you want advice on how to prepare a home for Passover there's a video from an American Rebbetzin, that's a rabbi's wife. Until the last couple of decades only the Liberals in the UK have female Rabbis, though I think rules have changed recently for one or two other groups. That's a topic you can discuss at a Seder if you like.

  • (This is what Wiipedia says:
  • Rebbetzin (Yiddish: רביצין) or Rabbanit (Hebrew: רַבָּנִית) is the title used for the wife of a rabbi, typically from the Orthodox, or Haredi, and Hasidic Jewish groups.
  • The Yiddish word has a trilingual etymology: Hebrew rebbə "master", plus the Slavic feminine suffix -itsa and the German feminine suffix -in.)

If you don't want the trouble of cooking or are looking for a gift or something for tea time, you can buy lots of kosher for passover goods in supermarkets in North West London.

Pound Cake
You can buy Pound cake in Morrisons supermarket in London, England. Brand name is Osem. It does not cost £1 but £1.99. Does it weigh a pound? It weighs 250 grams. The same brand makes chocolate chips cake kosher for Passover and all year round; and marble cake, same weight and price from Morrisons.

 Cookbook:Pound cake   Pound cake
Pound cake refers to a type of cake traditionally made with a pound of each of four ingredients: flour, butter, eggs, and sugar. However, any cake made with a 1:1:1:1 ratio of flour, butter, eggs, and sugar may also be called a pound cake, as it yields the same results. Pound cakes are generally baked in either a loaf pan or a Bundt mold, and served either dusted with powdered sugar, lightly glazed, or sometimes with a coat of icing.

History[edit]

It is believed that the pound cake is a Northern European dish, that dates back to the early 1700s.
