Directions:
FOR SYRUP: Bring all ingredients to boil in heavy medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Boil until syrup thickens slightly and is reduced to 1 generous cup, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
FOR TORTE: Lightly grease inside of 8" springform pan. Line bottom with parchment paper. Blend 2 cups walnuts with matzo meal in processor until nuts are finely ground. Using electric mixer, beat eggs, maple syrup, sugar and salt in large bowl at high speed 5 minutes. Add espresso, lemon peel, and cardamom and beat until beginning to thicken, about 5 minutes longer. Gently fold in nut mixture in 4 additions. Pour batter into prepared pan.
Bake torte at 325º until brown on top, about 40 minutes. Tranfer to rack. Spoon 4 T. syrup over hot torte. Cool completely in pan on rack. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover remaining syrup and torte separately and let stand at room temperature.)
Serve in wedges with remaining syrup and, if desired, whipped cream.
