    Alcohol is not the issue for Pesach (Passover rather, the fermentation that occurs in CERTAIN grains (wheat, spelt, barley, rye, and oats is of concern to religious Jews. One can readily find kosher l'pesach wine and vodka, for example. However, observant Jews will still seek out vanilla extracts with the appropriate certification for Passover. Cornstarch and corn syrup are only issues for Ashkenazi Jews. Sepharadim consume these products during Passover.
    This recipe is great. Ashkenazim should make the appropriate substitutions, of course, but this recipe produced a fabulous cake that I would be happy to serve at my seder this year. Chag Pesach Sameach.

    Excellent recipe. Cake came out beautifully, topped with fresh, ripe seasonal, local fruit...to die for. If one is worried about alcohol in the vanilla for dietary reasons, substitute fresh vanilla bean and be creative.

    Passover...Massover...whatever the religion...

    This recipe makes a delicious cake. Anyone who admires Gale Gand's recipes or food at her Chicago restaurant...keep this recipe and make as directed. Great! An nie , Fremont, CA

    This recipe cannot be used for Passover without making changes to the ingredients... besides confectioners sugar being made with corn starch and the need to make sure the jam is not made with corn syrup, vanilla extract is not acceptable as it is an extract made with alcohol, a fermented substance, a no no during Passover. Artificial vanilla powder mixed with sugar is now widely available. It comes in packets or envelopes of better yet, 12 ounce tubs that have a little measuring spoon inside. "Kosher-for-Passover" Vanilla Powder or Vanilla Sugar does not compare at all to real, pure vanilla BUT it is an approved ingredient for Passover. Look for brands such as Haddar, Lieber's, Rokeach, or Itkowitz.

    IMHO Food Network should do their research and respect the Jewish religion and customs and not label recipes for Passover that are not acceptable under Jewish law.

    FYI- Kosher for Passover Confectioners Sugar DOES indeed exist! It is just mixed with potato starch rather than corn starch. (not as good of a product, but it works!

    I make this for my husband's birthday and he loved it. Would make it again. The next time I might add a little rum to the glazed strawberries and just kick it up a little.
