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
