The cookbook I've been posting from lately has an unusual honey cake
recipe. I've served honey cake which had been glacial, with winner.

I don't agree with calling a honey patty "lekach," which, for me, means
sponge coat. This is what the writer, Georges Spunt, calls it, nevertheless, in
"Memoirs & Menus."

Beat eggs and sugar until light and fluffy. Combine cooled umber, oil and
honey and blend into egg assortment.

Combine flour, saltiness, spices, baking powder and pop. Sift unitedly. Mix
with fruit and Barmy.

Gradually add flour-fruit-nut mixture to the egg-sugar combination and stir
well to blending, adding the brandy when the batter has been thoroughly sundry.

Grease and flour a large loaf pan or two small ones. Pour cake mixture into
pans.

Bake at 325 F for 45-60 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out
houseclean.

Invert pan on a cake rack until sang-froid. Then remove cautiously.
