It's a tasty cake, but if youre not an expert baker, I would advise making it in cupcake tins, versus the cake ring. Because its a heavy cake, this makes it alot easier to serve and consume. My cake ring also fell apart and pieces of the cake stuck to the pan. Some modifications: I also doubled the qty of apples. added brown sugar and used white chocolate chips instead of brown.

I made this last night for our seder and it turned out better than expected. It was my first time buying kosher chicken, since it was the only chicken at my supermarket with the skin on. A bit on the pricey side ($7.50 for 2 large breasts), but really huge and good quality/ value for the money. I didnt vary the recipe too much. OK, maybe I did..on second thought;-) 1. I couldnt find matzoh farel, though I went to 2 supermarkets in a jewish neighborhood, and searched in the kosher section the day before passover. But for all of you worried that you dont have this ingredient, you can save money & make your own matzoh farfel at home by simply crushing about 6 pieces of seasoned matzoh (I used the egg/ onion flavored) into small pieces (about 1" each) in a zip lock bag to make 3 cups. It turned out just as good. 2. I omitted the onion powder because I didnt have any. And I added paprika for some extra spice. 3. After I put the stuffing under the skin, the chicken looked a little bland going into the oven, so I brushed HP sauce on top of each one. I think this really saved the recipe cause it came out very flavorful with the right level of moisture. I also served it with Swiss Chalet gravy (all the Canadians will know what I'm talkin' bout..) but any good gravy will do. It turned out great. I will definitely put it in my passover file for next year.

I tried this recipe this morning and it was delicious. One warning though...it is one of those sweet, heavy breakfasts that puts you straight to sleep after. My husband, baby and I were knocked out for 2 hours after eating this. Good thing it is the long weekend. A couple substitutions I made in the syrup: I used blueberry juice instead of rum extract (as I hate the taste of rum), and maple syrup instead of the Mrs. Butterworths, and omitted the nuts. I also skipped on the whipped cream, and used Breyers double churned cookies and cream ice cream instead.
