Honey cake

Yatta!

Finally got my last essay done yesd

I certainly haven't baked ANYTHING in such a long time. And I was missing it. So I made a cake for the Ryan.

Of course it had to be in the shape of a heart.

And honey flavoured to represent the new craze that has swept the nation (or just the two of us).


Honey Cake
Ingredients:
170g Honey
140g Butter
85g muscovado sugar (I used brown sugar, maybe they're the same thing? Maybe not. I just worked with what I had)
2 beaten eggs
200g sieved self-raising flour
Tblsp water

Method:
1. Put honey, butter, sugar and water together in a saucepan and heat lightly until melted.
2. Add eggs and flour and mix.
3. Put into a Greased tin and cook on 180 C for about 40 minutes.

Voila!

You now have a cake :)

I only made half the recipe but it came out the perfect size as a mini cake. Not too big as to be impossible to eat. But not too small as to just be cupcake size.

There is a recipe for the icing as well but I just mixed some honey, icing sugar and water together til it came out the right consistency.

I admit, one of the reasons I chose this cake is because it has only a few ingredients. I had all of them in fact, apart from the icing sugar. Which I could buy in a small quantity for only one fifty.

Mmm. Cake.

Love Erin
