directions

  • Preheat the oven to 350º. Butter a 9-inch loaf pan, dust it with flour, then tap out any excess.
  • Sift together the flour, rye flour, baking soda, the ground spices and salt in a bowl. Sprinkle in the anise seeds.
  • In the bowl of a standing electric mixer, or by hand, mix together the butter, egg, honey and orange zest.
  • Add the water, then add the dry ingredients in three additions, scraping the sides of the bowl to make sure everything gets mixed in evenly.
  • Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and bake for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The top will bake to a somewhat dark color, which is normal.
  • Cool 10 minutes, then tip the cake out of the loaf pan. Let cool completely on a rack before slicing.
  • Store tightly wrapped at room temperature up to 1 week, or freeze up to 3 months.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm a 48 y/o gay Jewish man in the suburbs immediately north of New York City. I'm a general internist, practicing and teaching at a medical college north of NYC. I also earned a Masters in Public Health degree in 2013. After a Walt Disney World trip in Dec 2006 where I had to rent an electric scooter because I couldn't manage the walking, I decided to have gastric bypass surgery, which was done Feb 28, 2007. I lost 160 lbs (though I've gained back about 60 of that since). I can't eat as much as I used to, so I want every bite to be extra good!
