Mix it in a bowl, then bake it in a Bundt or loaf pan. This is the easiest honey cake you will ever make!
This recipe started out as a 9 x 13 idea. We said, “Let’s see if we can create a 9 x 13 version of a honey cake?!”
So we made one. But then we realized, it wasn’t meant to be. Sure, mixing it all in a disposable pan worked great, but the challenge was baking it right. An aluminum 9 x 13 wasn’t allowing the center of the cake to bake well, leaving us with a gooey middle (that sunk in once the cake baked) and dry edges. But it was easy and tasty.
That’s when we decided to scrap the 9 x 13 plan. It would simply be an easy-to-put-together honey cake that can be baked in a Bundt pan,
or a few loaf pans.
If you choose to bake it in a Bundt pan, you will see that it fills a 12 cup pan nicely.
The one we used was a 10 cup so we had some batter left over. It’s the perfect amount to fill a small loaf. This one will go to Yeshiva with our teenage boy.
Place all dry ingredients in a mixing bowl,
and mix together.
Add wet ingredients
and mix with a whisk until smooth and no lumps are left.
Grease a Bundt pan,
we used PAM Baking made with FLOUR,
and pour in the batter.

Hi, looks easy and yummy. What is the liquid on top of the batter in the unbaked cake picture? The one in the pans already.
Do you add liquid on top before baking?
Thanks
It looks like it is the oil spray….;)
Hi whats 1 cup prepared coffee?
It means make a cup of black coffee
Thanks for the reminder to get some of these in the freezer!
I always make my honey cakes with strong tea (3 teabags in a cup of hot water) instead of the coffee. Gives a similar taste but more mild/delicate. Some people dont like coffee here so I started doing it this way.
My recipe is quite similar (I imagine most basic honey cakes are). I’ve tried doing half oil half applesauce (as I do for most baked goods) and it worked too. The full oil is better in this cake (most cakes it doesnt matter) but also very good.
What Bundt pan are you using? Looks so beautiful.
It’s this pan – https://amzn.to/3Zj7Jyn
How many loaves does.it make
Just made this in 2 Loaf pans and baked it for over 40 mins, but the middle stayed raw and gooey and sank as soon as it came out of the oven. Not edible
That’s disappointing. What size loaf pan? My recipe is a bundt or 3 2 lb loafs. Perhaps you used the 3 lb size?
If you want that gooey bakery-type top, cover the cake with foil right away instead of waiting until it’s cool.
How many lb is the small loaf that you used? And how many would this recipe yield?
Also wondering if you’ve doubled this successfully.
Thank you for all your help!
What’s 1 cup prepared coffee?
It’s saying make a cup of black coffee
I think they are asking specifically how to prepare it. If you’re not a coffee drinker you won’t know. It will say on the jar, but it’s 1-2 tsp (or a rounded tsp) per cup of boiling water.
Thank you! This was my question. I never understood the ratio of the coffee mix to hot water.
Has anyone made this into cupcakes/muffins? How did it turn out?
I did muffins last night.
Came out delicious baked for 25 minutes.
kids devoured it!
Hi did you use light or dark brown sugar for this recipe. ?
How many loaf pans and what size? And what’s the bake time? Doesn’t specify. Thank you!
I made 3 long loaf pans (the euro company Israeli size ones and one small tinfoil. Do not over fill I filled mine just slightly over half way and baked around 40 min 170 had to cover with parchment paper after20 min so top didn’t burn they came out delicious. And I used dark brown sugar. The one I filled slightly more was more finicky with the baking took longer had to lower temp etc. Just wanted to see for my own curiosity what would happen
I had the same. Baked in loaf pans for 45 min and middle was still runny and gooey
wonder if twas salvageable.
Just made this. Delicious. Very sweet. I would cut the sugar next time.
Delicious cake! I made it with the Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free 1 to 1 flour and it came out amazing.
Great texture and taste.
Made this and put into 7 inch round pan baked for about 30-40 minutes. Came out delicious and just enough to take out but not have leftovers
This recipe is a keeper! Doesn’t get easier than this and tasted delicious!
