Everything you need for Israeli kosher baking — ready-made cakes, gluten-free flour blends, Elite cocoa powder, chocolate spreads, baking powder, sugar and more. All shipped directly from Israel to the USA. Shop now at KosherTop.

Every Israeli home baker has a repertoire. A chocolate cake that comes out the same way every time. A biscuit cake (עוגת ביסקוויטים — uga biskvitim) layered the night before and refrigerated until it sets. A honey cake for Rosh Hashanah. A babka for Shabbat.

These recipes are not complicated. They're the point. Israeli baking is not about showing off — it's about producing something reliably delicious with ingredients you already have in the pantry, in a kitchen that smells good on a Friday afternoon.

The secret, as any Israeli grandmother will tell you, is the ingredients. The cocoa brand matters. The chocolate spread matters. The biscuit matters. And when those ingredients come directly from Israel — the brands that Israeli bakers have been using for decades — the result tastes like the real thing, wherever in the world you happen to be baking.

At KosherTop, we ship all of it directly from Israel to the USA. Here is the complete Israeli baking pantry.

Part 1 — Ready-Made Israeli Cakes: When You Want Perfection Without the Work

Osem Chocolate Cake — "The House Cake", 400g

Osem's signature chocolate cake is not a compromise. It is a rich, deeply chocolatey cake made with real cocoa powder (2.7%), eggs, and egg yolk — a formula that produces a moist, dense crumb and an intense chocolate flavor that most American box mixes don't come close to matching.

<cite index="6-1">A winning selection of cakes for every occasion — soft and comforting yeast cakes, rich brownies, and even a honey cake for Rosh Hashanah. All that is left is to choose the cake that suits you, and enjoy the baking secrets of Osem in your home.</cite>

This is the cake that appears on every Israeli kitchen counter on Friday morning. Baked in a loaf pan, sliced thickly, served with coffee. No frosting. No decoration. Just a very good chocolate cake that never disappoints.

Osem Checkers Vanilla & Chocolate Cake, 320g

The beloved Israeli marble cake — vanilla and chocolate batters swirled together in a pattern that Israeli children have been cutting into dramatic slices for generations. Light, moist, and versatile enough to dress up or down depending on the occasion.

Made by Osem with the same high-quality formula as their chocolate cake — real eggs, quality oils, and a reliable rise every time. The vanilla-chocolate combination is the most universally loved cake format in Israeli baking.

Kosher: Parve Best for: Children's parties, Shabbat, afternoon snack

Elite Dark Chocolate Brownies, 380g

For anyone who considers themselves a brownie person: Elite's dark chocolate brownies are made with 13.6% premium dark chocolate, real cocoa powder, eggs, and hazelnut puree — a formula that produces a dense, fudgy, intensely chocolatey result that stands far above the standard Israeli packaged brownie.

<cite index="8-1">Rich dark chocolate brownie cake with chocolate cream. Made with excellent bitter chocolate 13.6%, cocoa powder, hazelnut puree and real eggs.</cite>

This is a bakery-quality brownie in a package. No box mix assembly required — slice and serve.

Maimon's Vanilla Cake Mix Powder, 560g

For the baker who wants to make something from scratch but with a reliable Israeli base: Maimon's vanilla cake mix is a professional-grade baking powder used in Israeli home kitchens and bakeries alike. The 560g format makes multiple cakes.

<cite index="4-1">A mixture for quickly making vanilla flavored cake — tasty and easy to make. The mixture can be used as a base for a variety of cakes.</cite>

Add eggs, oil, and water — and the result is a light, perfectly textured vanilla cake that serves as the foundation for hundreds of Israeli dessert variations: filled with chocolate spread, layered with cream, frosted, or served plain alongside tea.

Kosher: Parve Best for: Base for uga biskvitim, vanilla layer cake, cupcakes, babka

Part 2 — Baking Essentials: The Israeli Pantry Basics

Elite Cocoa Powder, 150g — The Israeli Standard

When an Israeli recipe calls for cocoa, it means Elite cocoa. This is not interchangeable with whatever generic cocoa is sitting on your pantry shelf. Elite's low-fat cocoa powder has been the standard in Israeli baking for decades — the benchmark by which all chocolate cakes, cookies, and hot cocoa drinks are measured.

<cite index="10-1">Cocoa powder adds deep chocolate flavor to desserts and beverages. It has a higher proportion of flavorful cocoa solids than any other form of chocolate, so ounce for ounce, it tastes more intensely chocolaty than any other chocolate ingredient.</cite>

For the classic Israeli chocolate biscuit cake (uga biskvitim), Elite cocoa is non-negotiable. The flavor profile — rich, slightly bitter, deeply chocolatey — is what gives the cake its distinctive character.

Kosher: Parve Best for: Uga biskvitim, chocolate cake, hot cocoa, cookies, brownies

🛒 Order Elite Cocoa Powder 150g →

Baking Powder, 500g — Professional Quantity

<cite index="12-1">Baking powder is a dry chemical leavening agent used to increase the volume and lighten the texture of baked goods.</cite> The 500g professional format is ideal for regular bakers — no running out mid-recipe, no substitutions, no compromise on the rise.

Israeli baking powder, kosher certified, in a quantity that reflects how seriously Israeli home bakers take their pantry stocking.

Kosher: Parve Best for: All baking — cakes, cookies, bread, pancakes

Sugat White Sugar, 1kg — Pure Cane Sugar, No Additives

<cite index="21-1">Sugar extracted from sugar-cane with no food additives. Pure sucrose — one of the natural sugars found in various plants. 1kg bag.</cite>

Clean, pure, no additives. Israeli kosher-certified cane sugar in the standard 1kg baking format. For anyone who cares about ingredient quality in their baking — this is the base everything starts from.

Kosher: Parve Best for: All baking, syrups, preserves

🛒 Order Sugat White Sugar 1kg →

Karagil Gluten-Free Flour Blend, 450g — For Celiac & GF Bakers

For the growing number of kosher bakers who also keep gluten-free: Karagil is Israel's leading gluten-free flour brand, developed in collaboration with celebrity Israeli chef Einat Mazor.

<cite index="11-1">The Karagil series serves as a convenient replacement for regular wheat flour for home baked bread, sponge cakes, crunch cakes, pancakes and more. The brand was launched in collaboration with Chef Einat Mazor, an opinion leader in the local gluten-free market.</cite>

The formula — rice flour, tapioca starch, and xanthan gum — produces results that replace wheat flour without the gummy or dense texture that most GF blends suffer from. For Israeli families with celiac members who still want to make uga biskvitim or a proper chocolate cake, Karagil is the answer.

Kosher: Parve · Gluten-free · Israel Ministry of Health certified Best for: GF chocolate cake, sponge cake, pancakes, bread

Part 3 — Israeli Chocolate Spreads: The Secret Ingredient

No Israeli baking pantry is complete without chocolate spread. In Israel, chocolate spread is not a luxury or a breakfast treat — it is a baking ingredient, a filling, a frosting, a sauce, and an afternoon snack, all in one jar. Here is the complete KosherTop chocolate spread range.

Hashahar Ha'ole Chocolate Spread — Israel's Original, 750g

<cite index="19-1">Hashahar Ha'ole ("The Rising Dawn") has been produced since 1948 — making it possibly the world's first chocolate spread, invented 9 years before Nutella was launched in 1964. It has become one of Israel's best-known foods and a symbol of Israeli cuisine.</cite>

This is the chocolate spread that built a generation of Israeli sandwich memories. Darker, less sweet, and more intensely cocoa-flavored than Nutella, Hashahar has a depth of flavor that makes it as good in baking as it is on bread.

The parve version (non-dairy) allows it to be used in any recipe — including cakes served after a meat meal, which is a consideration that matters in many kosher households.

Available in: Dairy and Parve (non-dairy) versions Best for: Uga biskvitim (essential ingredient), cake filling, cookie sandwiches, babka

🛒 Order Hashahar Chocolate Spread →

Elite Cow Chocolate Spread, 500g

Elite's flagship chocolate spread — the Cow brand, recognizable by its distinctive packaging — is richer and creamier than Hashahar, with a flavor profile closer to milk chocolate. Made with cocoa powder, vegetable oils, and soy flour, it spreads smoothly and melts beautifully when used as a baking ingredient.

<cite index="16-1">Elite Chocolate Spread makes sandwiches special and desserts spectacular. Good for spreading on bread, baking, filling, or topping cakes. Kosher dairy product of Israel.</cite>

Kosher: Dairy Best for: Cake filling and topping, cookies, crepes, waffles

🛒 Order Elite Cow Chocolate Spread 500g →

Elite Pesek Zman Chocolate Spread, 350g

The spread version of Israel's most beloved chocolate bar — caramel, wafer, and milk chocolate flavor translated into a creamy, spreadable form. <cite index="13-1">This chocolate spread is NEW and flavored as the popular Pesek Zman chocolate candy in Israel — good for spreading on bread, baking, filling, or topping cakes. Contains 10% hazelnuts and 6.2% cocoa powder.</cite>

For anyone who grew up on Pesek Zman — or anyone curious what it would taste like on a warm slice of cake — this is a genuinely remarkable baking ingredient.

Kosher: Dairy (Mehadrin) Best for: Cake filling, cookie sandwiches, spreading on Osem Checkers cake

🛒 Order Elite Pesek Zman Spread 350g →

Quarter to Seven Cocoa & Hazelnut Spread, 500g

<cite index="5-1">Cocoa and hazelnut spread with 8.7% hazelnut puree and 2.7% cocoa powder. The Israeli answer to premium hazelnut chocolate spread.</cite>

For bakers who want a hazelnut-forward spread — closer in flavor to Nutella but made in Israel with Israeli kosher certification — Quarter to Seven delivers a rich, complex spread that works beautifully as a cake filling or swirled into a marble cake batter.

Kosher: Dairy Best for: Babka filling, cake layers, cookie spread, crepes

🛒 Order Quarter to Seven Spread →

Milka Chocolate & Hazelnut Spread, 350g

The kosher-certified Israeli version of Milka spread — the beloved European chocolate brand — with hazelnuts and the distinctive Milka milk chocolate flavor. <cite index="20-1">Milka spread with hazelnuts — in a sandwich or dessert, Milka spread makes every meal excellent. Contains 28% sunflower oil, 5% hazelnuts, 4.5% low-fat cocoa powder.</cite>

For Milka fans who want their favorite chocolate flavor in a format that works for baking and spreading.

🛒 Order Milka Chocolate Spread 350g →

Part 4 — The Israeli Baking Biscuit: Petit Beurre

No Israeli baking section would be complete without Osem's Petit Beurre — the flat, lightly sweet biscuit that is the foundation of Israel's most beloved home dessert: uga biskvitim.

Petit Beurre Classic, 1kg (4x250g)

<cite index="32-1">Osem Petit Beurre is the most delicious and popular biscuit in Israel — the first crispy biscuit on which we were raised, perfect alongside a cup of coffee and widely used in home baking.</cite>

The 1kg format (four packs of 250g) is the right quantity for making a full uga biskvitim — which requires one full pack minimum, and many Israeli recipes use two. It's also the format for anyone who goes through Petit Beurre quickly, which is most Israeli households.

Kosher: Parve Best for: Uga biskvitim (essential), served with coffee, ice cream topping

🛒 Order Petit Beurre Classic 1kg →

Petit Beurre Gluten-Free, 2x200g

For celiac bakers: the gluten-free version of Israel's most essential baking biscuit. Same satisfying crunch, same light sweetness, same applicability for uga biskvitim and coffee — without the wheat.
