Honey Cake

This was a delicious cake. So simple and completely migraine friendly. It would make a good birthday cake too!  It is a typical Eastern European cake and in Yiddish its is called lekach.

Honey Cake- taken from the Joy of Cooking
Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Cook over low heat until blended
1.5 cups honey
3/4 cup vegetable oil - I used olive
1 cup coffee- i used about a fourth of a cup and the rest water, enough to give some flavor but not a lot of caffeine, use your own judgement you could easily use all water
2 ts vanilla

Remove from heat and cool

Using a mixer beat together for 4-5 minutes
3 eggs
3/4 cup sugar
then add the cooled honey mixture and mix

then add the dry ingredients and mix till well blended with a mixer
3.75 cups of flour
1.5 ts baking soda
1 ts baking powder (aluminum free is best)
2 ts Cinnamon
1/2 ts ground ginger

Scrape the batter into a greased and floured 13 by 9 cake pan (glass is best)

Bake until center poked with toothpick comes out clean.

As soon as the cake is removed from the oven prick the surface with fork creating lots of little holes. Then spoon on and spread evenly across the top
3/4 cup honey
let cake cool and serve. (we liked it with a extra dollop of honey on top!)

Enjoy!
Wishing you a migraine free day!
