Passover desserts question
OK, so I've read the no yeast stuff in Exodus and can understand if this would be expanded to cover chemical leaveners that may not have been in use back then. And with the whole rushing to get out of Egypt before Pharoah changed his mind again, dessert was most likely not a high priority.
But none of this explains the box of passover yellow cake mix I saw in the grocery store -- one of the first ingredients is matzo crumbs/meal.
There are plenty of cake recipes that don't require chemical leavening -- is there something prohibited about baking with regular flour during Passover that I'm missing? Because cake made with matzo sounds less than fully appetizing.
Speaking of holiday desserts, I made Paula Dean's "Not Yo Mama's Banana Pudding" for Easter dinner. It's almost too rich to eat and was a big hit with the family.
