[Fredslist] For a Sweet New Year... Honey Cake

[Susan Zinder]

 In the spirit of Gotham - allow me to share the following, namely my Aunt
Jeanette's recipe for honey cake ­ if you want a sweet new year it's a good
way to start.

Feel free to pass it along but always credit Jeanette Scherl  Thau ­ she was
far more than sweet ­ when she died at 96 she was still a fashion maven
pining for her high heeled shoes ­ but she was a very classy, generous, wise
lady and a great baker.

As for my version - - I like mine sweeter than hers ­ I use her recipe but
leave out the nuts and cherries and add at least 1 more orange and 4 extra
oz of honey (I also don't bake it as long, but I have a convection oven) - -
Obviously, I like my new year extremely sweet (though I'm not always so
sweet myself)  ;).

To all ­ have a happy and healthy new year and may you be inscribed for
blessing in the books of life, health, prosperity, and given what is going
on in the worldŠ understanding.

Gothamly,
Susan
