I have been looking fora really delicious honey cake for years. My quest ends with this cake! The other reviewers are right: I thoroughly greased and floured the pan and it still stuck. One of my guests admired the unusual top of the cake - sifted confectioner's sugar can do wonders! Next time I will line the pan with parchment.
I did change the recipe a little: I used instant espresso, and increased it to 3/4 cup, decreasing oil by the same. I also threw in a handful of milk chocolate chips, just to ensure that it would be tasty. It would have been yummy even without. I also baked the cake 2 full days ahead in order to allow the honey flavor to really saturate.
This recipe is definitely a keeper!

Great honey cake recipe. Usually I don't like honey cake .... but this has a lighter more cake-like texture and not too sweet! Thanks for posting

This was good , easy, and had a really nice consistency. Makes a big bundt cake. Stuck a bit despite buttering and flouring, which was a shame, so be careful there.

This is the first Honey Cake I've ever made for Rosh Hashana, I was surprised to see I had all of the required ingredients on hand, the honey I used was Scottish Heather honey and Blossom Honey.
I was concerned with how the cake would turn out as I had to bake it in two round pans as I don't have a bundt pan.
It wanted to stick a bit but I think that was my fault...I put apricot jam between the two layers and the cake tastes even better from the fridge today!
Thanks! This is a keeper.

I made this for Rosh Hashanah and it was VERY good! I made a few changes - instead of 1c sugar, I used 1/3c Splenda and 2/3c sugar. Instead of 1c oil, I used 1/2c oil and 1/2c unsweetened applesauce. And I upped the honey to 1 1/3c. It baked in my bundt pan for 60 minutes. It was VERY GOOD! Since there were only 4 of us for dinner, there were leftovers. I cut the leftover cake into slices & wrapped them individually. They freeze WONDERFULLY! I think next time I make this I will omit the coffee (maybe replace w/orange juice??) and add some chocolate chips. Thanks for sharing!

Very nice honey cake. I made 4 (a couple of test ones) for Rosh Hashana and they were enjoyed by all. The flavor seems to be a cross between honey cake and spice cake. It seemed a bit dry as written so subsequent cakes were made with 1 1/4 or 1 1/3 C honey and the cakes were done in my oven at about 45 minutes. I used ground cloves. This is so easy, I think I could now do it in my sleep.

This is a very good recipe for honey cake. I love honey cake - it has such a comforting, homey quality - just the smell of it baking makes you feel cosey and warm. This baked up very nicely and all of the measurements are very accurate. This version tastes very good, although not quite as rich as others I have had. I think this would taste especially nice with some powdered sugar icing drizzled over the top. Thanks for sharing!
