Honey Cake
Ingredients
- 2 cups All Purpose Flour
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1/2 cup Curd
- 3/4 cup Oil
- 1/2 cup Milk
- 1/4 tsp Baking Soda
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/4 tsp Orange Zest
- 2-3 tbsp Jam (any flavor)
- 1 tbsp Sugar
- 2 tbsp Dry Coconut or copra powder
Honey Syrup
- 1/2 cup Water
- 1 or 2 tbsp Sugar
- 1/4 cup Honey
Instructions
Cake
- Take sugar, curd and oil in a mixing bowl.
- Whisk well till all the ingredients are mixed well.
- Add grated orange zest and mix well. Orange zest is an orange's peel. Orange zest gives a very nice flavor to the cake.
- Take all purpose flour or maida, baking soda and baking powder in a bowl and mix well.
- Add all purpose flour mixture and mix well with a spatula.
- After mixing for 5-6mins, all purpose flour is nicely mixed and forms a very thick batter.
- Add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of milk to the batter and mix well to get the desired consistency.
- Batter should be thick and runny.
- Grease butter to the tray which you are using to bake the cake. Here I am using aluminum serving tray to bake the cake.
- Pour the batter to the tray, place the tray in the oven tray and pat it twice or thrice.
- Place the tray in the preheated oven at 360 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Bake the cake for 35-40mins or till the cake is baked perfectly. To know the cake is baked or not take a knife or toothpick and prick the cake, knife or toothpick should comes out clean.
Honey Syrup
- Add 1 or 2 tbsp of sugar, 1/2 cup water and boil till the sugar melts and syrup becomes slightly thick and turn off the flame. When the sugar syrup is warm, add honey and mix well.
- Remove the cake from the oven and cool it completely.
- Invert the cake and place in the plate.
- Pour the honey syrup which was prepared earlier over the cake and keep aside.
Jam
- Take 1 or 2 tbsp of jam ( any flavor of your choice) in the bowl and heat it. Here I am using strawberry jam.
- While the jam starts melting, add 1 tbsp sugar.
- When the sugar melts and nicely mixes with jam, switch off the flame and keep aside.
- Cake will absorb the honey syrup nicely.
- Now put the jam mixture over the cake.
- Spread the jam evenly over the cake. Here I have used less jam. If you like you can add generous amount of jam.
- Sprinkle the dry coconut powder over the cake.
- Honey cake is ready to serve. Slice the cake to pieces and serve.
