Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a two 8-inch baking dishes.

  2. Beat sugar and butter together in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix honey into creamed butter-egg mixture.

  3. Sift flour, baking powder, and baking soda into a separate bowl. Slowly mix flour mixture, alternating with the coffee, into honey mixture until batter is just mixed. Fold almonds and raisins into batter, add orange zest, vanilla extract, and cinnamon into batter. Pour batter into the prepared baking dishes.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour.

Recipe Yield

Recipe Note

Honey cake is a traditional recipe for Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year. This recipe was found by my husband's aunt on a hand-written note - we think it belonged to his great-grandmother. I think the old recipes are the best! Some measurements have been converted from pounds for more modern conventions.
