I got this recipe from an ancient falling apart cookbook of mine. It is so warm and golden and homey that I've named it the "Sunny Honey Cake"! I some times add a handful of golden raisins to it.
Sunny Honey cake
1 cup honey 1 cup applesauce 3 eggs 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg 2 cups flour ( You can replace one cup of white flour with one cup of wheat flour, I've never tried it with all whole wheat flour because I think that it would make the cake too heavy) 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 cup strong brewed coffee/strong black tea
In a large bowl, mix together the first 3 ingredients. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, spices and baking soda. Add the flour mixture to the wet stuff, alternating with the coffee/tea; beat until well mixed Pour into one greased 9"x13" pan (or, alternatively, three 8" square pans). Bake at 325F--60-90 minutes for the large pan, 60 minutes for the three smaller pans.
Enjoy

sounds extremely good.

That sounds yummy--like a nice breakfast cake, Annika. I'll print it off because we have a lot of honey right now from our CSA.
