We welcome the Jewish New Year with a slice of honey cake to ensure a sweet, prosperous year. It is the answer to fruitcake for Christmas. The type of honey you choose – clover, buckwheat, lavender – will add a lot of flavour and will reflect autumn aromas with the lingering scent of honey and spices. Before you measure the honey, put 1/2 teaspoon (two milliliters) of canola oil in the bottom of the measuring cup. The honey will easily slide out.
