Recipe - Honey Cake

TSR Wiki > Life > Food and Drink > TSR Recipe Book > Recipe - Honey Cake

This is a traditional Jewish cake, and a pretty old (and very simple) recipe. The cakes are in fact nicer if, when cooled, are left wrapped in foil for a day or two. Also, watch out - this cake rises a lot, and you don't want it to be overflowing, so just be a bit careful, use a cake tin with high sides, and don't feel you need to use all of the mixture because it will get to about twice the size during baking.
