MILK AND HONEY CAKE



Milk and Honey Cake image

The flavor of this ultrabuttery layer cake, adapted from Odette Williams's "Simple Cake" (Ten Speed Press, 2019), can be as mild or pronounced as you like, depending on the variety of honey you use. Clover honey will give you something gentle and mellow, while more assertive buckwheat or chestnut honey have more depth. You can serve the cake plain, with dollops of the whipped cream on the side, for a casual gathering, or frost and fill it, adding berries or other fruit, for a more celebratory affair. It makes an excellent birthday cake.

Time 1h15m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

12 tablespoons/170 grams unsalted butter (1 1/2 sticks), at room temperature, plus more for greasing
2 1/4 cups/290 grams all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
3 large eggs, at room temperature
1 cup/240 milliliters buttermilk (shake carton before measuring)
3/4 cup/180 milliliters honey, plus more for whipped cream and serving
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup/150 grams granulated sugar
1 cup/240 milliliters heavy cream
Fresh berries, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease two 8-inch round cake pans, line the bottoms with parchment paper and grease the parchment.
  • Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a large bowl.
  • In a small bowl, beat eggs until smooth.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together buttermilk, honey and vanilla.
  • Using an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter on medium speed to break it up, then gradually beat in sugar, continuing to beat until very light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • With the mixer on medium speed, add eggs, 1 tablespoon at a time. If the mixture looks curdled at any point, add 1 tablespoon of the flour mixture to bind it back together.
  • Reduce mixer to low and mix in a third of the flour mixture. Scrape down sides of bowl with a rubber spatula, then mix in half the buttermilk mixture. Mix in another third of the flour mixture, scraping down sides of bowl, then mix in remaining buttermilk mixture followed by remaining flour. Scrape down bowl.
  • Scrape batter evenly into prepared pans and smooth tops with a spatula. Bake until the cake springs back when lightly pressed, and a toothpick inserted into center of the cake comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes.
  • Transfer to a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes. Run an offset spatula or butter knife around edges of pan to loosen cakes, then unmold onto the rack, remove parchment and allow to cool completely.
  • Just before serving, whip the cream with a drizzle or two of honey, to taste (up to 2 tablespoons if you like it sweet). Frost the top of one cake, top with the remaining cake then frost the top of the stacked cake. Drizzle with additional honey and garnish with berries, if you like.

DELICIOUS MILK AND HONEY BREAD - 2 LOAVES



Delicious Milk and Honey Bread - 2 Loaves image

Wow - this is delicious bread! I'm always trying new bread recipes and am glad I ran across this one in a recent magazine! It is delicious! Enjoy! This makes two loaves. Updated 2/10/05 - I just wanted to update that I halved this recipe and did the dough in the dough cycle and it turned out wonderfully. I did use a full package of yeast instead of halving that. I took the dough out of the ABM and let it rise one more time in the loaf pan. Then I baked it at 375 degrees for 35 minutes.

MILK AND HONEY WHEAT BREAD



Milk and Honey Wheat Bread image

A quick bread, not a yeast bread, another of my longtime favorites adapted from my old Vegetarian Epicure cookbook. Unbelievably delicious spread with butter & honey--also good with cream cheese.

Provided by echo echo

Categories     Breads

Time 1h15m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup milk
2/3 cup honey
1/4 cup butter
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups white flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup toasted wheat germ
1 cup walnut halves (optional) or 1 cup walnuts, chunks (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat milk and honey together until honey is dissolved, then stir in the butter.
  • When the milk-butter mixture is somewhat cooled, beat in the eggs.
  • Sift together the flour through salt; add wheat germ.
  • Gradually stir the dry mixture into the liquid.
  • Stir in nuts (if desired).
  • Turn into 9 X 5-inch loaf pan.
  • Bake at 325°F 1 hour.

Tips:

  • To achieve a perfectly moist loaf, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing. This allows them to combine more evenly, resulting in a smooth batter and a tender crumb.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, making the loaf tough and dense. Mix just until the ingredients are combined and no dry streaks remain.
  • For a golden brown crust, brush the top of the loaf with melted butter or milk before baking. You can also sprinkle a little sugar on top for a sweet and crunchy crust.
  • To test if the loaf is done, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the loaf is ready. If it comes out with moist batter, bake for a few more minutes.
  • Allow the loaf to cool completely before slicing and serving. This allows the flavors to develop and the loaf to set properly.

Conclusion:

With its delightful combination of sweet honey and creamy milk, this Milk and Honey Loaf is a classic treat that is sure to be enjoyed by all. Its tender crumb, golden brown crust, and irresistible aroma make it a perfect choice for breakfast, brunch, or a sweet snack.

Whether you're a seasoned baker or just starting out, this recipe is easy to follow and yields delicious results every time.

So gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and get ready to bake a loaf of pure deliciousness that will warm your heart and satisfy your sweet tooth. Happy baking!
