Honey Cake

Early this spring while working at the bike shop, I spied a flyer for BICYCLE-DELIVERED, LOCAL HONEY!!!?! After I got over the initial "yeah right, this is too good to be true" shock, I Interneted myself on over to http://thebeezkneezdelivery.com/ and ordered myself a jar of the finest (buckwheat) honey I have ever tasted. Ever. And I love honey.
A lot.

After polishing off (by the spoonful, straight from the jar) my first order, I started to think about all of the many wonderful things I could actually make with the next. I got another jar today and couldn't wait to try this honey cake I found on the Smitten Kitchen.

The recipe makes 3 loaves or 1 bundt cake or 2 loaves and 2 mini loaves, blah blah blah LOTS OF CAKE. I halved it, but as it happens it's perhaps a bit, err, tall in an 8-inch square baking dish. I'm over it because it's also a bit, err, DELICIOUS and MOIST (yeah, I said it).


In closing: Friends, bloggers, Internet trolls, PLEASE do yourself a favor and check out this honey. It's LOCAL, BICYCLE-DELIVERED, AND DELICIOUS. What more do you want?
