Baking Instructions
- Heat oven to 350 ˚F. Lightly coat baking pans with non stick spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and cinnamon.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, at medium-high speed, cream together butter, white sugar, and honey.
- Add eggs. Beat until combined.
- Mix in applesauce.
- Gradually add flour mixture and beat just until incorporated.
- Pour batter evenly into pans (approximately 1 cup per mini pan or three cups per loaf pan).
- Bake loaf pans for 35-45 minutes and mini pans for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- If removing the honey cakes from the pans, cool for 10 minutes in the pans before moving them to cool completely on a wire rack.
Notes
Though this sweet treat is traditionally made in Jewish culture during Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur, it's just as delicious on a random Saturday morning with a cup of tea! The loaves stay fresh for up to a week and are best mailed during cool weather months due to the high moisture content of the cake.
