Observe Yom Kippur in Winnipeg with a Two Egg Sponge Cake

September has always struck me as the perfect time for New Year, what with the start of a new school year and all the television series' premieres.

Ten days ago Rosh Hashonah marked the beginning of the Jewish New Year. What's a holiday without a lot of great food? Of course Rosh Hashonah is no exception. It's celebrated with wonderful sweet dishes that are supposed to foretell a happy (and sweet) year.

And now we have Yom Kippur. What a civilized idea that is! A day when everyone eats light to atone for the overconsumption of sweets.

Here's a recipe that's light in calories and cholesterol. To your health....
