Honey Cake
makes 1 cake
This is a traditional treat for Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. But it's also a not-too-sweet treat that's good anytime. The coffee and brown sugar give it a darkness that balances the golden sweetness of the honey.
3 eggs
1 1/3 cups honey
1 1/2 cups dark brown sugar
1 cup strong black brewed coffee
2 teaspoons baking powder
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon baking soda
4 cups flour
2 teaspoons cinnamon
prep: 15 minutes
total: 1 hour 15 minutes

3. In a smaller bowl, mix the coffee with the baking powder and whisk until combined. Add softened butter, and mix until combined.
