From our Kosher Baking Demo- Honey Cake
Ingredients:
4 eggs
2 cups sugar
3/4 cups oil
1 1/2 cups honey
4 cups flour
1 full tsp baking soda
1 1/4 tsp baking powder – use fresh powder
1 tsp cinnamon
½ tsp all spice
1 cup brewed coffee
1 cup seltzer water
1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Preparation:
Pre heat oven 350º. Use 9” X 13” pan 2” deep. You may use loaf pans if you prefer. Line pan with tin foil and extend up beyond pan rim by 2”.
Combine flour, baking powder, and baking soda in bowl and set aside. In mixing bowl, cream together eggs, sugar, and oil until fluffy and light (about 3 minutes). Add honey to creamed egg/sugar mixture and beat for another minute. Add flour and liquids alternating in 1/3rd portions. Beat until mixed well – No lumps! Stir in nuts.
Fill pans ¾ of the way. Pull tin foil up to keep batter from spilling over as it bakes. It is also a good idea to put foil under the pans just in case this happens.
Do not open door for at least 40 minutes or cake will fall. It takes from 45 to 60 minutes for cake to bake. It is done when it springs back when lightly poked or when inserted tooth pick/cake tester comes out clean.
