Honey Cake

Since it is Yom Kippur Jewish people are making their favorite holiday meals. A classic dish in my household is my mom's Honey Cake. For about 25 years my mom and her friend have both been making this cake at the same time every year. Since my moms friend lives in Israel this dessert is being made in two different countries at the same time. This cake is so sweet and moist that it almost melts in your mouth. I hope you enjoy this recipe for Honey Cake as much as I do!

Ingredients:
5 egg whites
3/4 cup sugar
5 egg yolks
3/4 cup honey
1/2 cup canola oil
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder

Drizzle:
1/2 cup boiling water
4 teaspoons sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice

First pre heat the oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit. Then whisk the egg whites and the sugar together until stiff peaks are formed.

In a separate bowl mix together the egg yolks, honey, canola oil, cinnamon, salt, flour, and baking powder until thoroughly combined.

 Add the egg whites to the other mixture, fold in the egg whites until the mixture is combined.

Add the batter to a buttered cake pan and cook for 45 minutes to an hour, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

 While the cake is cooking mix together boiling water, sugar, and lemon juice together until combined. While the cake is hot poke a few holes on the top and pour the drizzle over the cake.

 Once the cake is cool, enjoy!
