CHOCOLATE-GLAZED HONEY CAKE
This is my mother's traditional honey cake, made every year for the Jewish new year Rosh Hashanah. We eat honey cake in order to have a sweet new year. I love the glaze for this especially - the cake is a little dry. I could eat the glaze with a spoon! Best served with tea.

FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH HALVAH HONEY SAUCE
Egg whites give this intensely rich cake its leavening and delicate texture, while a halvah honey sauce elevates it to something entirely new. It is an easy cake to make, and works beautifully even without the sauce, making it perfect for Passover. And it takes almost no time at all.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan, line it with parchment paper, and grease and flour parchment.
- In a saucepan over medium-low heat, melt 1/2 cup butter, then add chocolate. Melt, stirring frequently, until just smooth. Remove from heat, whisk in brandy or rum, and let cool.
- In a large bowl, whisk egg yolks with 1/2 cup sugar and the salt, then whisk in cooled chocolate mixture.
- In an electric mixer on medium speed, beat egg whites to soft peaks. Gradually add remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, and beat to stiff peaks.
- Stir a little of the whites into chocolate mixture to lighten it, then gently fold all the whites into chocolate. Scrape batter into prepared pan, and bake until cake springs back when gently touched in center and a toothpick inserted in center comes out with some crumbs attached, about 35 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack, and let cool for 20 minutes, then turn cake out onto rack, and cool completely. Wrap well, and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight to firm texture.
- Make the halvah honey sauce: In a saucepan, bring cream to a simmer. Whisk in the tahini, honey and salt. Simmer the mixture, whisking, until it thickens to a custardlike consistency, about 2 minutes. Let mixture cool, then crumble in the halvah. To serve, drizzle sauce generously over the whole cake or individual slices.

Tips:
- Use good quality chocolate for the best flavor. A high-cocoa content chocolate (70% or higher) will give you a rich, intense chocolate flavor.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
- Don't overbake the cake. Overbaking can make the cake dry and crumbly. Bake the cake just until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
- If you don't have time to make the honey frosting, you can use a store-bought frosting instead.
Conclusion:
This chocolate honey cake is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is moist and chocolatey, with a rich honey flavor. The honey frosting is the perfect complement to the cake, adding a touch of sweetness and richness. This cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
