The Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah, is one of the most important holidays in the Jewish calendar. It’s a time to celebrate the start of a new year, and to remember the past. As part of the celebration, it’s customary to eat sweet foods to symbolize the hope for a sweet year ahead. One traditional dessert for Rosh Hashanah is honey cake, a sweet and moist cake made with honey and spices. Here’s a simple recipe for a classic Jewish Rosh Hashanah honey cake.

Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup canola oil
  • 1 1/2 cups honey
  • 1/2 cup molasses
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup strong brewed coffee
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1/2 cup raisins (optional)
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or a 9x13-inch baking pan.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the oil, honey, molasses, eggs, and vanilla extract.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until combined. Add the coffee, orange juice, raisins, and nuts (if using) and mix until combined.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool for 10 minutes before removing from the pan.

Serve the cake warm or at room temperature. The cake can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
