One of the major topics of conversation at Rosh Hashanah is what honey cake recipe to make. Well, this will certainly keep the family happy It is my favorite classic recipe, and it produces a wonderful cake that is richly spiced with ginger; cinnamon, and other spices. Although it’s customary to eat apples and honey during Rosh Hashanah, my family seems driven to eat them together in as many ways as possible. For this reason, my honey cake even features apple juice! Although this cake may be aten right away, I find that its flavor improves if its allowed to sit at room temperature at least 3 days before eating. I always make two batches of this recipe — I serve one cake for tea during Rosh Hashanah, and I freeze the other; to be used for breakihg the Yom Kippur fast.
