Kosher Cake Recipes
Food is an integral part of Jewish culture, and desserts are an integral part of Jewish cuisine. Jewish cakes are a synthesis of recipes from the many places that Jews have lived throughout the centuries, all influenced by Jewish dietary laws.

Chocolate Banana Cake (Dairy)
No need to throw away those old bananas just because there is no need for cake in your home now. This recipe for Chocolate Banana Cake freezes so well that I generally bake it, wrap it and freeze it right away. While it can be defrosted later, we often prefer to slice and eat it frozen.

Chocoholics' Chocolate Cake (Dairy)
If you are a chocolate lover, this cake is your dream come true.

Nevertheless, this Chocoholics' Chocolate Cake is so delicious, everyone should have a copy of it in their recipe box.
