Rosh Hashanah
Cover the cake with aluminum foil,
and place it inside a plastic bag for a
day, as the cake tastes better when
it rests for 24 hours. Honey cake
freezes well.
Defrost the cake completely and
display it on a lovely plate or cake
stand. Right before serving, using a
fi ne mesh strainer, dust it with pow-
dered sugar. Serve immediately.

In a large mixing bowl, place the
eggs, brown sugar, oil, orange zest
and vanilla. With an electric mixer,
beat until combined.
In another large bowl, sift the fl our,
baking soda and baking powder.
Sprinkle in the cinnamon, cloves,
nutmeg and cardamom. In batches,
add the fl our mixture to the egg
mixture, alternating with the honey
mixture. End with the honey mixture.
Stir in the pecans.
Pour the batter into the prepared
pan. Bake it for 60-70 minutes, or
until the cake springs back when
lightly touched with a fi nger.
Remove the cake from the oven
and cool it completely to room tem-
perature. Gently run a sharp knife
around the edges of the angel food
pan, being careful not to damage
