I found this recipe back in my early days as a baker and it has become a staple in my repetoire. It is a very moist cake and the best garnish for it is a simple dusting of icing sugar. Ingredients:
1 cup honey, boiled and brought to room temperature |
1/2 cup butter |
1 cup brown sugar |
4 eggs, separated |
3 cups all-purpose flour |
2 teaspoons baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 cup sour cream |
1 cup walnuts, chopped |
Directions:
1. Cream the butter and sugar.
2. Add the egg yolks, one at a time.
3. Beat until light and fluffy.
4. Beat in the honey.
5. Sift the flour with the other dry ingredients; add in alternately with the sour cream.
6. Stir in the walnuts.
7. Beat the egg whites until stiff and fold them into the batter.
8. Bake in a greased tube pan at 325 degrees F for 50 to 55 minutes, or until done.
9. Lower the heat to 300 degrees F in the final stages of baking to prevent the honey from burning.
