Honey Cakes come in many sizes, flavors and textures, yet they all have one thing in common: sweetness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have tasted many and know that every country interprets what a good honey cake is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My Grandfather z’l used to love the honey biscuits from Israel, and I can still remember him saying. “Ve Zenen der honig kichlech?” “where are the honey cookies?” These same honey cookies are still available with the same recipe from a long time ago. The first time I saw it in a shop after many years, every memory of my grandfather and grandmother returned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They lived in Eretz Yisroel in a city called Bat-Yam in a small town called Bobov. Today this town is not what it was when I was growing up. My parents would take us there every summer to be with her parents, and it was a completely different place from what we were used to, very provincial. It was also the place that my parents met each other and got married.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I can remember the kitchen and my grandmother making omelets for us in the morning. The weirdest thing is, as I write this, I can taste the cheese she added to the mixture – all the food memories of a Bubby’s kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These are what the honey cake recipes are about; they are passed from generation to generation, becoming the staples we always return to even when we find new recipes to try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I know that in England, most people add ginger, in Europe, the texture is denser, America has a light and fluffy recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The recipe I\u2019m sharing is the one my mother z\u2019l always made; I would say it\u2019s in the American style. Baking this cake is not easy as you separate the eggs, but it does come out beautifully fluffy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Honey cakes are usually recipes passed down through generations that we have learned to love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The most important meaning that we give to our honey baking is the sweetness of a new year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My wish – whatever way you like the honey cake, and some don’t like it at all – is that the year ahead be one in which we can find all the sweetness that Hashem sends our way, in the best of health.<\/p>\n\n\n
