HONEY SPICE CAKE

RELATED CONTENT

Mix with a fork in an ungreased 8" X 8" square cake pan:

1-1/2 cups whole wheat (or white) flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon allspice
dash of ginger
dash of nutmeg
dash of cloves

Add and mix:

2/3 cup honey
1 teaspoon vanilla
6 tablespoons oil
3/4 cup water

Mix ingredients well, and bake at 350° F for 45 minutes. You may want to increase or decrease the spices used in subsequent batches, to suit your own family's tastes.

APPLESAUCE CAKE

Use spice cake recipe, with the following variations: Add 1 cup applesauce to wet ingredients and decrease amount of water to 1/2 cup. Use 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 teaspoon nutmeg, and 1/2 teaspoon of cloves instead of the spices called for in the original formula. You may want to stir in a few raisins too.

BANANA CAKE

This is also a variation of the spice cake recipe. Add 1 cup mashed banana to wet ingredients, and decrease the amount of water to 2/3 cup. You may also want to cut back on certain spices (or even delete some altogether) according to your tastes.

HONEY GINGERBREAD

Mix with a fork in an ungreased 8" X 8" square cake pan:

1-1/2 cups plus 3 tablespoons flour (whole wheat or white)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon cloves
2 teaspoons ginger

Add and mix:

3/4 cup honey
1 tablespoon vinegar
6 tablespoons oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons water

Combine ingredients thoroughly, and bake at 370° F for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven, cut, and enjoy!

So there you have 'em, MOTHER: My own recipes for using nature's finest sweetener in everyday baking. Remember, all the cakes can be mixed right in the same pan they'll be baked in (unless, of course, you want to make an 8" layer cake by increasing the ingredient amounts by 50%. Then you have to use a separate bowl and pour an equal amount of batter into each layer pan.)

Happy bread and cake eating!
