MOIST ROSH HASHANA (NEW YEAR) HONEY CAKE
My rebbetzin gave me this recipe a few years ago. I had a disastrous Rosh Hashana in the honey cake department, went to a break-the-fast at her place, and she had this AMAZING cake. I've made it every year since and make it in the off-season, too. This is one of those cakes that gets better as it ages, so if you want to make it a day or even two ahead, it'll actually taste better. She says it's based upon a recipe in Marcy Goldman's cake in A Treasury of Jewish Holiday Baking, but that thing's out of print. I did find a copy of it, purchased it for the recipe, and found that it was.. lacking.. in the spice department. I haven't put in the optional whiskey to date, but I believe it's more traditional to use it. I've just never had it around. I also like using bundt pans for this. Did you know Hadassah asked NordicWare to make the original bundt pan?

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F If you're using black or dark-colored pans, reduce to 325°F.
- Prepare a 10 inch bundt pan, or tube pan, or 3 8" x 41/2" loaf pans.
- Grease and flour the bottoms of the pans - better yet, use baking parchment paper to line the bottoms of the pans: it makes getting your cake out in one piece easier!
- Mix all the dry ingredients in a large bowl or the bowl of your electric mixer.
- Add wet ingredients and mix until well combined.
- Pour slowly into prepared pans to avoid bubbles.
- Tap pans against counter to free any bubbles.
- Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
- Let the cake stand for at lease 15 minutes before you try and get it out of the pan.
- Invert it on a wire rack and cool completely.
- Wrap tightly in wax-paper, and then in foil to keep.
- This is one of those cakes that gets better the longer you let it sit; if you can make it 3 days in advance, that's actually ideal. It is also delicious right away.
