Another new recipe for Rosh Hashanah, continuing our series of recipes for Yom Tov!

This week we’re making a moist Honey Cake with a beautiful apple decoration on top. It’s simple, delicious, and perfect for your Rosh Hashanah table!

HONEY CAKE

Ingredients:
• 1¼ cups all-purpose flour
• ½ cup sugar
• ½ cup vegetable oil
• 2 eggs
• ½ cup honey
• ⅓ cup brewed coffee, cooled
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1¼ tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ¼ tsp kosher salt
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• ¼ tsp nutmeg
• 1 apple, thinly sliced

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Beat eggs and sugar for 2–3 minutes until light and fluffy. Mix in oil, honey, coffee, and vanilla. Whisk the dry ingredients separately, then gently mix into the wet ingredients just until combined.

Pour into a greased and lined pan, arrange thin apple slices on top, and bake for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.

NOTE: In the video, I baked the cake for 30 minutes, took it out to add the apple decoration, and then baked it for another 15 minutes. I recommend adding the apples BEFORE baking and letting the cake bake uninterrupted for the full 45–50 minutes. This will give you a better rise and a lighter texture.
