Another old family recipe we had for years and I usually don't see this recipe . Rye whiskey, honey, apples and coffee make for a special cake indeed! Bake it for any holiday. Taste better as it ages, and does freeze well. Read more . See instructions below for a perfect cake. Ingredients:
1 lb honey |
2 cups sugar |
4 eggs |
5 oz oil |
1/2 cup rye whiskey |
3 1/2 cups flour |
2 tsp baking powder |
1/2 tsp allspice |
3/4 tsp cinnamon |
3 tsp. baking soda |
1 cup brewed coffe, cold |
1/2 of a large apples peeled and grated |
granted rind of an orange |
1 tbs candied citron peel, chopped ( lemon, lime, orange ) optional |
1 cup chopped walnuts |
Directions:
1. Sift all the dry ingredients together except sugar
2. Cream the honey and sugar
3. Beat eggs, oil and whiskey.
4. Add the honey mixture alternately with the cofee into the dry mixture.
5. Fold in the rind, nuts, apples and citron.
6. Grease and line a large 9 x 13, 10 x 14 or similar pan with greased brown paper( I cut from a paper bag )
7. Add the batter to the pan.
8. Batter will be thin
9. Bake in a 350F oven until tested done, may be up to an hour.
10. If using pyrex decrease heat to 325F
11. Bake in the middle oven
12. May cover with foil last 15 minutes if browning too fast
13. It's done when sides pull away and center springs back when lightly touched or wooden toothpick comes out clean
14. Note: Remember, mixture must be baked in a flat pan and not in a tube or bundt pan or it will fall since the batter is thin.
15. Cool in pan 15 to 20 minutes.
16. Carefully loosen and invert on sugar/cinnamon dusted tea towel..
17. Invert cake back onto serving platter.
18. I usually cut cake in half, freeze one portion and cut the other into pieces for servings
19. This is a moist lovely cake with flavors improving with age.
