Ukrainian Honey Cake

PanNan's Note:

Posted for the World Tour 2005 RecipeZaar event. I haven't had time to try this yet. I was intrigued with how quick and simple it is, and the fact that I always have these pantry staples on hand. The source is the Time Life Good Cook series "Cakes", originally from the British columbia Women's Institutes Adventures in Cooking. The cake requires one day of standing before serving.

• Total Time: 30 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 6

• 1 cup honey , warmed in a pot over hot water
• 4 eggs , beaten
• 1 ½ cups flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375 F, and butter and flour a 7" cake pan.
2. Beat honey until frothy. Add eggs, flour and baking powder.
3. Pour into prepared cake pan. Bake for 15 minutes and check the cake. When done, it will shrink slightly from the pan. Continue baking for 5 minutes if it isn't ready yet. (continue if it needs more time).
4. Turn it out of the pan while still hot, and let cool on a rack. Store in an airtight container for a day before serving.

by far the most disgusting cake i have made in my entire life. i followed the directions word for work and even lowered the baking time by 10 minutes but this cake was nothing but a honey flavoured resemblance of cardboard NOT RECOMMENDED and it used up all of the honey in my house too definately not worth making

This cake had a great honey taste but the sweetness wasn't too overpowering. I had to cook it for the extra five minutes, but it was still quick to make!
