How to Make A Honey Of A Honey Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 10x14 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 2 large eggs, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, and ½ cup vegetable oil until light and fluffy.
  3. Add ½ cup honey and ½ cup mead (or orange juice). Mix well to combine.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon ground ginger.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before cutting.
  9. Once cooled, cut into honeycomb shapes (or your preferred shapes).
  10. Drizzle with 2-4 tablespoons of lavender honey and garnish with fresh lavender flowers, if desired.
