Honey cake used to be my favourite as a kid I used to love to have this Honey Cake from the local bakery ..They added different colours and top it with coconut it looked so pretty .I was very happy to find the same taste when i tried this at home last Christmas I followed Vah chef's recipe but made few changes in the amount of honey, sugar and jam used .This Indian Honey Cake is now become a favourite a my place.
This Indian Bakery Honey Cake is perfect for a birthday party too you can serve these sqaures for your kids birthday party.
Do try it You will love the soft melt in mouth indian bakery honey cake for sure..You can add colour to the cake batter to make it look more pretty and colourful I have not added any colour.
Ingredients
1/2 cup + 2 tbsp butter
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 cup flour/maida
1 tsp baking powder
2 eggs
2 tbsp milk
1 tsp vanilla essence
For the honey syrup
1/4 cup honey
2 tbsp sugar
1/2 cup water
1 tsp rose water /1/4 tsp rose essence
2 tbsp jam
2 tbsp desiccated coconut
Method:
And sprinkle desiccated coconut all over.
Cut in squares and enjoy.
Notes:
I have used only 2-3 tbsp of the honey syrup and just used 2 tbsp jam because i didn't want it to be over sweet ,it was just perfect but you could add the entire syrup it will get soaked in the cake and make it more soft and delish.
I used mixed fruit jam you my use apricot/strawberry too.
If you wish to add colour just add few drops of cooking colour to the batter.
My cake was perfectly baked in 40 mins ,your baking time may vary .
