A moist and flavorful honey cake, perfect for tea time or Rosh Hashanah. This recipe delivers a tender crumb and a rich honey taste.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup warm water

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the honey, sugar, and vegetable oil until well combined.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the warm water. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For an extra moist cake, you can soak the warm cake with a simple honey syrup made by heating equal parts honey and water until combined.
  • This cake can be made ahead and stored at room temperature for several days, allowing the flavors to deepen.
  • Consider adding chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans to the batter for added texture.
