Honey cake for Rosh Hashana.

Honey Cake II

Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 1 1/2 teaspoons ground allspice 4 eggs 3/4 cup white sugar 4 tablespoons vegetable oil 2 cups honey 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee 1/2 cup almonds 1/2 cup raisins 1 1/2 cups honey 2 tablespoons lemon juice 1/2 cup water 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest 2 ounces slivered almonds for topping

Instructions

1 Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

2 Sift together the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and allspice. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, gradually adding the sugar. 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.

3 Oil the two pans and line the bottom with waxed paper. Oil again. Fill each pan with batter to within 1 - 1 1/4 inches from the top. Bake for 65 to 75 minutes until cake tests done. Do not overbake. Let cool 10 minutes and remove from pan.

4 To Make Glaze: Boil together 1 1/2 cups honey, lemon juice, lemon zest and water. When glaze reaches a thick consistency, remove from heat and drizzle over cake. Sprinkle with almond slivers.
