Grandma Sadies Honey Cake Recipes

GRANDMA'S HONEY BUN CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly oil a 9x13-inch baking pan.
• Combine cake mix, sour cream, eggs, and oil in a bowl. Beat with an electric mixer for 3 minutes. Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking pan.
• Mix brown sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl. Sprinkle over batter in the pan. Carefully pour the remainder of the batter over the cinnamon-sugar layer.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes.
• Mix confectioners' sugar, milk, and vanilla together in a bowl. Poke holes in the hot cake with a fork and pour sugar mixture over the top of the cake. Let cake cool completely before serving, about 30 minutes.

GRANDMA ROSE'S HONEY CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees; generously grease and flour two 9x5 loaf pans.
• In a large1-quart saucepan, combine the coffee and honey and bring to a boil; let cool.
• In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg; stir in the oil and brown sugar.
• In another large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and ginger.
• Stir in the nuts and raisins; (the recipe said that Grandpa Sid always said, "Not enough nuts!" so Grandma always put extra in---smile).
• Alternately stir the dry flour mixture and the wet honey mixture into the egg mixture.
• Pour the batter into the loaf pans and bake for 70 minutes or until the cakes are springy to the touch.
• Let cool for 10 minutes, then turn onto wire cooling racks to cool.
• Wrap tightly in foil and let sit for 24 hours, so that the flavor of the honey has time to develop.
