I’ve been using this recipe for about 35 years. It’s the best we’ve ever tried by far. After trying a new recipe, we always go back to this one. We don’t just make it for Rosh Hashanah! It’s very moist and tasty. Best a day after it’s baked and stays fresh. Freezes beautifully.

The recipe doesn’t include the white frosting that’s drizzled ontop of the cake… any suggestions?

I would make a basic glaze which would be 1 cup confectioner sugar and 1-2 tsp of non-dairy milk. Keep mixing until it’s incorporated, it should be very thick, and pour it over the cake, but make sure the cake is completely cooled down.

I don’t think the cake will come out properly if there is no oil in it.

Absolute honey cake perfection! Baked it in loaf pans (half full). Cut the sugar to 2 cups. Used oat milk in place of one C water. Added 1 tsp. vanilla extract.
Truly moist.

I did 2 cups of sugar as well and it came out delicious. Thanks for the tip. 3 cups with all the honey seems like a lot of sweetness…
