I’ll be honest, I had a hard time naming this cake. It’s an ode to honey cake, thanks to the honey glaze and a bit of honey in the cake, but what’s really amazing and so seasonal about the cake is the glaze. (In my mind, the glaze is not optional on a cake, but actually integral.) The great texture of the cake with the sweetness of the cinnamon swirl makes a great stage for that glaze.   Yields 1 bundt pan

This recipe is absolutely delish, however, would love to have consistency less thick–its so difficult to pour into pan. Any suggestions???

You can add in a bit of extra liquid (milk, oat milk, orange juice, water…. a few tsp. at a time) if you’d like a thinner batter. Keep in mind to not add too much liquid though!

I think the powdered sugar measurement in the glaze may be an error… It needs more to get to the thickness in the pic. Otherwise delicious!

If the glaze is not thick enough you can definitely add more powdered sugar until it’s the right consistency,

For the glaze: just combine ingredients? What do you do with the ingredients for the glaze? Do they need to be heated? Will it dissolve into a smooth glaze without any other steps? How do you suggest dripping the glaze on the cake so it looks like the picture? Around the top so it drips down? Advise welcomed.

Doubled the glaze for all those icing lovers in the family.
I needed to add more confectioners sugar to thicken the the glaze.
Great addition to rosh hashana and succos dessert menu.

Did the ingredients for the glaze create a smooth consistency? Did you use vanilla pudding?

Replacement for vanilla pudding: Would rather add natural ingredients vs processed ones. Any suggestions?

Here’s what I found: about 2/3 cup of powdered sugar, an extra egg yolk, and some vanilla instead of the pudding. Will report back

I think some instructions are missing. Does the cake need to be cooled before adding the glaze?
