Honey Cake – Miodownik 4

• This is based on an old English recipe and is a bit lighter than my other Polish honey cakes.
• There are no spices in the original recipe but you can of course add them.

Ingredients

• 150g butter
• 100g granulated sugar
• 150ml honey
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 2 eggs – beaten
• 200g plain flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder

Method

• Pre-heat the oven to GM 4 – 180 C.
• Grease and line a 26 x 16cm baking tin.
• In a saucepan gently melt the butter and sugar.
• Add the honey and stir.
• Add the milk and stir again.
• Leave to cool.
• Mix in the eggs.
• Mix the baking powder with the flour.
• Add the flour to the mixture to give a smooth batter.
• Pour the batter into the tin and smooth the top.
• Bake for 25 – 30 minutes.
• Check that the top is not burning and cover with baking paper if necessary.
• Leave to cool in the tin.
