Lardy Cake image

This recipe has been in my family for at least 4 generations, since at least the 1870s. It is recommended that it be served hot, with real butter. The amount of honey is a guess - the original recipe said "Honey to drizzle" but didn't give a quantity.

The cake was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

Not sure what I did wrong, but my cake came out really dry. Maybe I overcooked it?
