Perfect Honey Cake Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together the first 3 ingredients.
• In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, spices and baking soda.
• Add the flour mixture to the wet stuff, alternating with the coffee; beat well.
• Put into one greased 9"x13" pan (or, alternatively, three 8" square pans).
• Bake at 325F--60-90 minutes for the large pan, 60 minutes for the three smaller pans.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. and generously butter a 12-cup bundt pan.
• Into a large bowl sift together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, and cloves. In a small bowl lightly beat eggs. Make a well in center of flour mixture and add eggs with remaining ingredients, whisking until combined well.
• Pour batter into pan and bake in middle of oven until a tester comes out clean, about 50 minutes. Cool cake in pan on a rack 20 minutes and turn out onto rack to cool completely. Cake may be kept in an airtight container at room temperature 1 week.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to fan 140C/ conventional 160C/gas 3. Butter and line a 20cm round loosebottomed cake tin. Cut the butter into pieces and drop into a medium pan with the honey and sugar. Melt slowly over a low heat. When the mixture looks quite liquid, increase the heat under the pan and boil for about one minute. Leave to cool for 15-20 minutes, to prevent the eggs cooking when they are mixed in.
• Beat the eggs into the melted honey mixture using a wooden spoon. Sift the flour into a large bowl and pour in the egg and honey mixture, beating until you have a smooth, quite runny batter.
• Pour the mixture into the tin and bake for 50 minutes-1 hour until the cake is well-risen, golden brown and springs back when pressed. A skewer pushed into the centre of the cake should come out clean.
• Turn the cake out on a wire rack. Warm 2 tbsp honey in a small pan and brush over the top of the cake to give a sticky glaze, then leave to cool. Keeps for 4-5 days wrapped, in an airtight tin.

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, mix together the eggs, honey, sugar and oil until well blended. Tip: Measure the oil first and use the same measuring cup for the honey- it will slide right out!
• In a separate bowl combine the remaining dry ingredients.
• Add approximately 1/3 of the dry ingrdients to the honey mixture. Mix.
• Add 1/3 of the coffee. Mix.
• Repeat process, adding 1/3 dry ingredients and 1/3 coffee until everything is mixed together.
• Grease a baking form/pan (I use a Silicon Kugelhopf form, 16cm high & 24cm wide, which makes a beautiful presentation) with margarine and coat with coconut flakes.
• Pour batter into form.
• Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for approximately 1 hour.(Baking time varies depending upon what form you use.Check that toothpick comes out clean - if crumbs are on it, that's fine)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch pan.
• Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine sugar, honey, oil, eggs and orange zest. Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the orange juice, mixing just until incorporated. Pour batter into prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool.

Steps:

• Heat oven to moderate (180°C).
• Grease a 20 cm round baking dish.
• Sift flower& baking powder.
• Add sugar to flour& mix.
• Beat egg and milk.
• Add egg mixture and the melted 3 tablespoons margarine to flour and blend gently (Do not overmix).
• Bake for 30 minutes.
• Melt the honey and 3 Tablespoons margarine.
• Pour over hot baked cake and serve.

Steps:

• Bring the honey to a boil and cool.
• Cream the butter and sugar, add the egg yolks, one at a time.
• Beat until fluffy, then beat in the honey.
• Sift flour with dry ingredients, add in alternately with sour cream, and stir in nuts.
• Beat egg whites until stiff and fold into batter.
• Bake in a tube pan (or a cookie sheet) at 325F (163C) until done, about 50-55 minutes.
• Lower heat to 300F (150C) in final stages of baking to prevent honey from burning.

Steps:

• Pour honey into a deep saucepan over medium heat. Boil until a shade darker and caramel-like in aroma, about 10 minutes. Turn off heat and whisk in cold water.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat (such as Silpat®). Place a mixing bowl and a whisk in the refrigerator.
• Place a large metal bowl over the lowest heat setting on the stovetop. Add butter, sugar, 1/4 cup of the burnt honey, and regular wildflower honey. Let sit until butter melts, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a small bowl.
• Whisk butter mixture and let sit until very warm to the touch. Whisk in eggs. Keep mixture over low heat until it gets very warm again; whisk in baking soda mixture. Remove from heat. Sift in flour in 2 or 3 additions, stirring well after each, until batter is easily spreadable.
• Transfer about 1/2 cup batter onto the prepared baking sheet. Spread into an 8- or 9-inch circle using an offset spatula. Shake and tap the pan to knock out any air bubbles.
• Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 6 to 7 minutes. Remove liner from the pan and let cake layer continue cooling until firm enough to remove, 6 to 7 minutes. Invert cake onto a round of parchment paper.
• Repeat until you have a total of 8 cake layers, letting each cool on an individual parchment round. Trim edges using a pizza wheel to ensure they are the same size; save scraps for crumb mixture.
• Spread remaining batter onto the lined baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven until edges are dry, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and cut into small pieces; toss with reserved cake scraps.
• Return to the oven and continue to bake until browned, 7 to 10 minutes more. Let cool completely, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a resealable bag and beat into fairly fine crumbs using a rolling pin. Set aside.
• Remove the bowl and whisk from the refrigerator. Pour in heavy cream. Whisk until soft peaks form. Add remaining burnt honey and sour cream; continue whisking until stiff peaks form.
• Place a cake layer on a parchment paper round on top of a pizza pan or serving plate. Spread a cup of frosting evenly on top, almost to the edge. Repeat with cake layers and frosting, pressing the layers in smooth-side down. Place last cake layer smooth-side up. Frost the top and sides of the cake. Cover with crumbs; clean any excess crumbs around base.
• Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 8 hours, to overnight. Transfer to a cake stand using 2 spatulas. Cut and serve.

Steps:

• Mix coffee in hot water, and then cool.
• In a large bowl, beat the yolks with the sugar until creamy. Add the oil and then the honey, beating after each addition. Beat until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

• Whip egg whites until stiff. Fold in three additions into the batter. Pour into 2 greased 8 inch square pans.
• Bake at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of cake comes out clean.

Beat until thick and light in color, about 5 minutes. Beat in the oil, honey and coffee. Stir flour mixture into egg mixture. Chop the almonds coarsely and mix with raisins; stir into batter.
• Divide batter between the two prepared loaf pans. Sprinkle with reserved slivered almonds.
• Bake in preheated oven until a tester inserted in the center of each cake comes out clean, 65 to 75 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes and remove from pan.
