This Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year, my sister in law made us this amazing honey cake. It was moist, dense and full of flavor. I had made it once since and decided to make it again tonight. I have to say that as far as honey cakes go, this is definitely my favorite. You can change it up a little by adding walnuts and golden raisins or toasted slivered almonds and semi sweet chocolate chips.
Here's what you'll need:
(Makes 3 loaf cakes)
3 ½ cups sifted flour

(Makes 3 loaf cakes)

1 tbsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
3 eggs
4 tsp cinnamon
1 cup canola oil
1 cup honey
½ cup sugar
½ cup brown sugar
1 tbsp vanilla
1 cup strong brewed coffee
½ cup orange juice
(For 1 loaf cake)
1 cup + 2 tbsp flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
Less than ¼ tsp salt
1 egg
1 ¼ tsp cinnamon
1/3 cup oil
1/3 cup honey
Less than ¼ cup sugar (3 tbs)
Less than ¼ cup packed brown sugar (3 tbs)
1 tsp vanilla
1/3 cup strong brewed coffee
Less than ¼ cup orange juice (3 tbs)
Preheat the oven to 350F. In a bowl, add the eggs and two sugars, then beat with electric mixer then add all the remaining wet ingredients, then slowly add in all the dry ingredients and beat till smooth. Spray the molds with non-stick spray, then pour in to 2/3 of the molds and bake for 45 to 60 minutes. Test if done, by inserting a toothpick, if it comes out clean, the cake is done. Cool, slice and enjoy with a nice cup of tea or coffee.
