Honey Cake

I love Honey Cake! We normally make it over Rosh Hashanah but to be honest that's a real shame as this is a delicious cake. The Honey Cake is a symbol of a "good and sweet year" in the Jewish religion so I suppose having this at my 30th bithday tea party can only bring good things for the year to come : )

Ingredients:
3 eggs
1 cup honey (plus a little extra for good luck)
1 cup sugar
1 cup warm coffee
3 tablespoons margarine
4 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons vanilla essence
1/2 teaspoon allspice
Additional spices (optional)

Method:
Cream margarine and sugar
Add eggs then honey and continue to mix
Add sugar and mix again
Mix baking soda into coffee, then add to the mixture
Add remaining ingredients (optional cinnamon, ginger and ground cloves) and beat together well
Bake at 160ºC for about 70minutes
Sprinkle with icing sugar once cool
