🥬 Vegetarian 🥛 Dairy-Free 🥜 Nut-Free ✡️ Kosher

This is my mother's traditional honey cake, made every year for the Jewish new year Rosh Hashanah. We eat honey cake in order to have a sweet new year. I love the glaze for this especially - the cake is a little dry. I could eat the glaze with a spoon! Best served with tea.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 cups white sugar
  • 1 cup honey
  • 3 large eggs
  • 0.5 cups vegetable oil
  • 0.5 cups brewed coffee
  • 1 tablespoon jam , any flavor
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 teaspoons ground cloves
  • 0.25 teaspoons baking soda

    Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease two 8x3-inch loaf pans.

  2. 2

    Mix 4 cups flour, 1 1/2 cups sugar, honey, eggs, oil, coffee, jam, baking powder, cinnamon, cloves, and baking soda together in a bowl until smooth; spread evenly into the prepared loaf pans.

  3. 3

    Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Remove cake from pans and cool on a wire rack.
