This rich, nutty confection is soaked in a honey-citrus syrup, giving it a flavor much like baklava. For the best flavor, soak overnight, and serve chilled.

I took this dessert to our family seder this year -- it was a big hit. This will be part of our regular set of Passover recipes from now on! Easy to make!

First time I made it, it was like a solidified flan. Although it did have a great taste it was weird looking. Second time I made it I used a wire whisk to beat egg whites first, then added eggs and rest of ingredients as in recipe. Great cake and great taste. The syrup was enough for two cakes.
