It sounds lovely. I really like honey in cakes and even when I use quite heavy spices, the honey still comes through.Choclettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00173996730095174268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7509623290663629278.post-71783564227954945682010-05-18T21:25:01.300+01:002010-05-18T21:25:01.300+01:00Maria - I'd love to be tidy, I'm just not!...Maria - I'd love to be tidy, I'm just not!<br /><br />Blue Penguin - I like the global aspect too - the honey's lovely!<br /><br />Suelle - I was really pleased with the way the honey flavour came through. The creaming works ok, although I tend to start with the butter on its own and a fork to soften it, and then move onto the hand mixer. And I do sometimes have to push mixture off Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13067886984635079539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7509623290663629278.post-84897461052735904292010-05-15T18:48:30.204+01:002010-05-15T18:48:30.204+01:00I must look - there is every chance there is honey...I must look - there is every chance there is honey in my living room too!

In fact, I'm wondering if honey would work in the light Guinness cake from my blog: http://mainlybaking.blogspot.com/2009/09/guinness-cake.html<br /><br />Do you have any problems Suellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04824039607448635437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7509623290663629278.post-36247906042984422682010-05-11T15:20:55.797+01:002010-05-11T15:20:55.797+01:00Why do I not find good things like jars of honey...Why do <i> I </i> not find good things like jars of honey randomly on my couch? Just coffee tables strewn with cups containing an inch of cold, abandoned tea! I love the look of this cake (also your recent marzipan ones) - am in love with anything containing honey and dark sugar. If it had golden syrup as well, I might have rolled off the couch!
