Honey cake (or other dessert) recipes?
Rosh Hashanah is coming up soon, and I volunteered to make dessert for my family's dinner. It's tradition to incorporate honey into certain foods like challahs and dessert (and to eat it with apples) to ensure a sweet new year. I found a great-looking Joan Nathan Apricot Honey Cake recipe, but does anyone have a great recipe for a dessert involving honey? Nondairy is preferable since some family members are kosher and you know we're having turkey and brisket for dinner!

Hi Rebecca,
I'm Jewish and my family is prepping the Rosh Hashanah menu as well. Here's a great recipe for Apple and Honey Cake (yep apples and honey are combined into one dish!) from Recipe4Living.
Ingredients
2 C. all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 tsp. apple pie spice
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. ground cardamom
1/2 C. margarine or butter
1 C. honey
2 eggs
1 C. orange juice
2 1/2 C. snipped dried apples
3 Tbs. honey
Directions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease a 2 quart baking dish; set aside. Stir together flour, baking powder, apple pie spice, baking soda, and cardamom. Set aside. In a mixing bowl beat margarine with an electric mixer on medium speed for 30 seconds. Add the 1 C. honey and eggs; beat until smooth. Add flour mixture and orange juice alternately to the beaten mixture, beating on low speed until just combined. Pour batter into prepared pan.
Bake for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, pour boiling water over apples to cover; let stand 15 minutes; drain well. Sprinkle cake with apples. Bake 15-20 minutes more or until a wooden toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. In a small saucepan, heat the 3 Tbs. honey just until warm; drizzle over cake. Cool completely.
Yield: 16 servings
Hope this helps and Happy early Rosh Hashanah! (We're having brisket too :) )

Here is a website that has a tone of honey recipes in it. (For non-dairy I often use soya milk if I am cooking for my vegan sister) It has many recipes that are fantastic in it. I really enjoy the "Pineapple Honey Cake", it's fantastic! Enjoy!

I don't know if you read Chocolate and Zucchini, but I just took Clotilde's new cookbook out of the library and there is a recipe for a Pain d'Epice/Honey spice loaf that sounds great. I love things like this for breakfast. I just checked and it does call for milk, but I'm sure you could substitute.

Thanks so much! These all sound great. Good luck with your dinner, Hillary, and happy holidays to you too :)
