Jewish Honey Cake

This is one of the most delicious tasting cakes you will ever have. It’s moist and spicy.
My Aunt Elsie made this cake only a few times a year. It went so quickly you were very lucky to even get a taste; it was such a special treat.
Aunt Elsie is 99 years young and her baking days have long since passed…..
But luckily she has shared her recipe and now we can all make this special treat. Just don’t forget to save a piece for Aunt Elsie.
