Local Honey Cake Recipe

The Honey Cake I made at Sutton Bonington Show went down a treat so, as promised, here is my recipe for the honey cake.

Ingredients:

Step 1

Pre-heat the oven to 140 degrees (fan oven). Melt the sugar, Whatton Apiaries honey and butter gently. Once melted into a liquid, boil for 1 minute. Leave to cool for 15-20 minutes.

Step 2

Beat in the eggs and sift Whatto Farm White Spelt flour until smooth- it will be runny. Bake for 50 minutes-1 hour.

Fresh out the oven

Brush over 2 tbsp of Whatton Apiaries honey while still warm.
