Perfect Honey Cake

Recipe #139651 | 1¼ hours | 5 min prep | add private note

By: Sarah Chana
Sep 30, 2005

I've tried many many honey cake recipes, and this is my favorite, both for depth of flavor and ease of production. It's basically a one-bowl cake, freezes very very well, and can be made in a variety of sizes. I got this from Amit Women's cookbook (Efrat chapter, Chicago), and can barely read the page because of all the spills on it. Even my mom, an extraordinary baker, has begun to use this recipe instead of her own. A perfect Rosh Hashana/Sukkot treat!

This is a nice moist honey cake. You may want to increase the spices to balance the sweetness. Also, if your applesauce is on the watery side, you should drain it in a sieve or coffee filter.

    Baked it last night- mixture tasted delicious- will taste it for real tonight. Just remember to use a BIG cake pan. This cake really rises so don't be surprised if the mixture covers only a quarter of the pan when your pour it in.

    This was a very yummy cake, the kids liked it too. I'm glad I read the other reviews before I made it. I split the batter between a 9x13 glass baking dish, and a smaller one. It worked well, because the cake really rises! I only had to bake them together for 40 minutes and it was perfectly cooked.

    Thanks to Joyce's comments, I kept a close watch while the cake was baking and took it out of the oven after 1 hour and it was perfectly done. It definitely would have burned if I'd left it in for the 90 mins. as the recipe states. It was very easy to make and is delicious. (One other small error in the recipe instructions, remember to add the cinnamon to the other dry ingredients.
