Chocolate and honey come together to make this moist cake with complex flavours that include chocolate and honey of course, but also a little caramel, a touch of cinnamon and a hint of coffee.
All you need is 2 bowls, some baking staples and a spoon to produce this tasty, oil-based cake. Extracting it from the ungreased tube pan is the trickiest part but the more I bake with Marcy Goldman – she certainly likes her tube pans : ) - the better I get at it. Next time I’ll omit the chocolate garnish as that made removal more difficult; a chocolate glaze could be used instead though the cake doesn’t really need it.
This turned out to be far more delicious than I had anticipated as I’m not a huge fan of honey cake. It’s a great choice for a crowd as it’s large and thin slices hold up well. It provided a nice bit of chocolate at the end of a large meal.
