Even the name “honey cake” conjures up wonderful childhood memories, doesn’t it? So, without further ado, we show how this soft pastry can be enhanced with bananas, pears and berries. Fresh from the baking tin, this delicious work of art will warm body and soul equally. And our fluffy honey cake makes the perfect all-rounder for picnics, with a cup of coffee and even the lunchbox.
Directions
To make the honey batter: Heat the non-dairy milk, honey, margarine, brown sugar, vanilla sugar, some salt and half of the cinnamon in a saucepan and stir until the sugar dissolves. Put 1 tablespoon of honey to one side for the topping.
Peel and chop 2 of the bananas, and purée with the non-dairy milk and honey mix. Mix together a pinch of salt, the remaining cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, grated lemon and orange peel, flour and cocoa powder and stir into the honey batter.
Peel the 2 pears, remove the core and shred into fine strips using a grater. Peel and slice the remaining banana. Grease and flour a cake tin. Place alternate layers of batter and banana and pear slices in the tin. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for approx. 35 minutes until golden brown. Allow the honey cake to cool and remove it from the tin.
To make the topping: Halve the 4 baby bananas and caramelise briefly in 1 tablespoon of honey in a pan. Place the baby bananas on the cake and arrange the berries on top to taste.
Cherish those honey cake moments!
