- 4 eggs (preferably at room temperature)
- 130 g of sugar
- 2 tablespoons of vanilla sugar
- 140 g butter
- 5 tablespoons (preferably natural)
- 220 g of wheat flour
- 25 g kakao
- 350 g of dried fruit (a mixture of nuts, raisins and dried fruit)
- 1.5 tablespoons of baking powder
- 1.5 tablespoons of gingerbread spice
- Preparing dried fruit – start by preparing the dried fruit. Nuts (e.g. walnuts, hazelnuts or almonds) roast in a dry frying pan for a few minutesuntil they become fragrant and golden in color. Then finely chop all dried fruit, including nuts, raisins and dried fruit.
- Melting the butter and honey – melt the butter and honey in a small pot over low heat. Stir until the butter is completely melted and combined with the honey, then set aside to cool.
- Beating eggs with sugar – in a large bowl, beat eggs together with sugar and vanilla sugar. It is best to do it over a pot of hot water to make the mixture fluffier and more delicate. Beat with a mixer at high speed until the eggs become fluffy and double in volume.
- Combining dry ingredients – sift flour, cocoa, baking powder and gingerbread spice into a separate bowl. Sifting will make the flour more aerated, which will affect its delicacy.
- Combining ingredients – for beaten eggs slowly pour in the cooled butter and honeystirring gently with a spatula so that the mixture remains fluffy. Then gradually add the dry ingredients, mixing only until the ingredients are combined.
- Adding dried fruits and nuts – add chopped dried fruits at the end. Mix gently to distribute the dried fruit evenly in the dough. Make sure the mixture is well mixed, but do not mix too vigorously so as not to lose fluffiness.
- Preparing the baking tin – prepare a baking tin – preferably rectangular or square, measuring approximately 20×30 cm. Grease it with butter and sprinkle with breadcrumbs or line it with baking paper to make it easier to remove the cake after baking.
- Baking honey cake – pour the mixture into the prepared mold and then put in the oven preheated to 180 degrees Celsius. Bake for about 60 minutesuntil the honeydew takes on a beautiful, golden-brown color. Check with a stick – if it is dry after inserting and removing, the cake is ready.
- Cooling and decoration: After baking, remove the honey cake from the oven and leave it to cool in the tin for about 15 minutes. Then remove the cake from the pan and leave it on a rack to cool completely. You can sprinkle it with powdered sugar or cover it with a delicate honey glaze to give it an elegant look.
