This honey cake is a great alternative to dry honey cakes. The honey and coffee give it an amazing moist texture that will wow your family and your guests.

Yield: 4 loaf cakes

Ingredients

Cake

  • 5 eggs

  • 3 cups sugar

  • 1 cup oil

  • 5 tablespoons Gefen Honey

  • 2 and 1/2 cups water

  • 2 and 1/2 teaspoons coffee mixed with a few drops of water

  • 4 cups Glicks Flour

  • 3/4 cup Gefen Cocoa

  • 2 and 1/4 teaspoons baking powder

  • 2 teaspoons baking soda

  • 1 tablespoon vanilla sugar

Glaze (optional)

Directions

Prepare the Cake

1.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius).

2.

Line four loaf pans with baking paper.

3.

In a mixer, beat eggs, sugar, and oil until fluffy.

4.

Reduce machine to low speed and add honey, water, and coffee.

5.

Add dry ingredients and mix until just combined.

6.

Pour batter into prepared pans until each is no more than three-fourths full.

7.

8.

Cool fully then carefully remove from pans.

Tips:

This cake freezes beautifully. I make it in advance and remove from the freezer as needed during Rosh Hashanah.

came out delicious!moisty and soft
I used 2 cups of sugar instead of 3 (the icing adds lots of sweetnes to the cake)
For icing, I added a drop of coffee to make a richer taste
made it in a medium sized buntd pan -needs a bit more time to bake
