This is from "The Balabuste's Choice" cookbook... it is eerily similar to the honey cakes sold in bakeries around Rosh Hashana!

SERVES 48 , 3 loaves (change servings and units)

Ingredients

6 eggs
2 cups sugar
2 tablespoons coffee (dissolved in a drop of hot water)
1 cup water
1 lb honey
1 tablespoon vanilla sugar
1 tablespoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup orange juice
3 teaspoons baking powder
5 cups flour

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2
Beat eggs with sugar on high speed, until fluffy. In a separate bowl, combine dry ingredients. Alternately add liquid and dry ingredients to mixer. Mix on low speed until smooth. Pour batter into three lined 4x10" baking pans.
3
Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until loaves test done.

I loved the sticky top on this cake like the bakery cakes. Be very careful not to fill your pan more than half full as this cake rises! The taste was very good but a bit to the "orangey side" due to the orange juice. I think next time I'd just use water instead and a pinch of pumpkin pie spice but nevertheless we really enjoyed this. Thanks for posting!

Good honey cake. Three loaves would be to much for us so I halved the recipe. Baked it as one large cake in a 10 cup round pan. After 30 minutes the cake seemed to get too dark brown on top whereby I put a sheet of tin foil over the cake. After 45 minutes baking the cake was done and evenly brown all over. It was easy to get the cake out of the pan but slicing was another matter. Very sticky, gooey, we like that! Good honey taste, certainly a cake well worth making for Rosh HaShana. Thanks fo posting.
