This wonderful recipe originally comes from my cookbook, "The Enchanted Broccoli Forest and other timeless delicacies" by Mollie Katzen. I have modified it slightly by adding vanilla, brown sugar, cardamom and sometimes raisins (optional). It is a delicious bread, with a bit of country crock on top, and perfect with a hot cup of tea.

How To Make jewish new year honeycake

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 350*. Melt butter and set aside. Be ready with a cold cup of coffee standing by.
  • 2
    Sift together the flour, salt, white sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and cardamom. Set aside.
  • 3
    In a large mixing bowl, beat the honey for about 5 minutes, until it becomes frothy, a little bubbly, and turns into a carmel-color.
  • 4
    To the honey, add the butter, coffee, egg and brown sugar. Beat until all incorporated.
  • 5
    Fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients. (Add raisins now, if you are using them).
  • 6
    Pour into buttered 8 X 8 square pan.
  • 7
    Bake 50 - 60 minutes or until knifed center comes out clean. Let cool and serve. It is awesome when eaten when it is still a little warm, with a tiny pan of butter smeared on top. Enjoy!
