Honey Cake

This is an old German recipe. The cake improves with aging, so bake several days ahead.
Original recipe yield: 2 - 8 inch square cake.

INGREDIENTS:
4 eggs, separated
3/4 cup white sugar
1 cup honey
1/3 cup vegetable oil
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
3 teaspoons instant coffee granules
1 cup hot water

DIRECTIONS:
Mix coffee in hot water, and then cool.
In a large bowl, beat the yolks with the sugar until creamy. Add the oil and then the honey, beating after each addition. Beat until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Sift and then measure 3 cups of flour. Combine with salt, baking powder, baking soda, and spices. Add these dry ingredients alternately with the coffee to the honey mixture, stirring only until blended. Do not overmix.
Whip egg whites until stiff. Fold in three additions into the batter. Pour into 2 greased 8 inch square pans.
Bake at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of cake comes out clean.


Apple Turnovers

2 tablespoons raisins
3 tablespoons finely chopped walnuts
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, plus additional for dusting
6 tablespoons honey, divided
2 large baking apples
Prepared pie dough for two single-crust 9-inch pies

In a small bowl, combine raisins, walnuts and 1/2 tsp.
cinnamon. Stir in 3 Tbsp. honey. Peel apples and cut
each in half lengthwise. Trim away stem and blossom
ends. Scoop out core from each half with a melon
baller, making a wide hole for filling. Divide honey
mixture evenly between apple centers. Divide pie dough
into 4 balls. Roll each ball into a 6-inch circle
about 1/4-inch thick. Lay 1 piece of dough over each
apple half with filling-side up. Tuck and wrap dough
around each apple half. Trim dough to fit. Pinch the
edges of dough underneath apples to seal entirely.
Combine 1 Tbsp. honey with 1 tsp. steaming hot water.
Stir until honey dissolves. Brush mixture over tops of
turnovers; dust with additional cinnamon. Transfer
turnovers to an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 375°F
for about 35 minutes, until turnovers art golden.
Remove from oven and drizzle with remaining 2 Tbsp.
honey. Serve warm or at room temperature.


Glazed Vegetables

2 cups carrots, thinly sliced
1/4 cup water
1 1/2 cups zucchini, thinly sliced
1/2 cup red bell pepper, diced
1/2 cup honey
1 tablespoon reduced fat butter or margarine
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground ginger

Combine carrots and water in a 2-quart microwave-safe dish. Cover and microwave on high for 3-4 minutes or until crisp-tender, stirring once. Drain liquid, add remaining ingredients and mix well. Cover and microwave on high for 2-3 minutes or until zucchini is crisp-tender, stirring once. Let stand covered for 2 minutes, then serve.
Makes 4 to 6 servings.


European Muesli

I first enjoyed this scrumptious, nutty cereal in Germany and Austria, and more recently at the Naramata Centre in British Columbia, Canada. It's excellent mixed into fruity yogurt.
Original recipe yield: 8 cups.

INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup wheat germ
1/2 cup sesame seeds
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
1/4 cup shelled pumpkin seeds
1/2 cup chopped cashews
1/2 cup chopped almonds
1/2 cup shredded coconut
1/2 cup rolled wheat
3 cups rolled oats
1/4 cup oil
1 1/4 cups honey
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C). Lightly grease a large baking sheet.
In a large bowl, mix together wheat germ, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, cashews, almonds, coconut, rolled wheat and rolled oats.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, mix oil, honey and vanilla. Cook and stir just until the mixture is hot. Stir into the wheat germ mixture.
Spread the mixture on the prepared baking sheet. Bake 1 1/2 hours in the preheated oven, stirring approximately every 20 minutes, until golden brown.


You can also pour honey over waffles, so delicious ! :)
