This is the perfect cake for any occasion and it takes longer to collect the ingredients than it does to make the batter! I converted it from an old Donna Hay recipe and the heroes of this cake are the honey and the sour cream; the honey gives it such a deliciously sweet taste and the sour cream makes it light and fluffy as a cloud.
Ingredients
165g raw sugar
155g butter
3 eggs
125g honey
180g sour cream
260g self-raising flour
How to
1.Preheat oven to 180°C / 160C fan forced.
2.Place sugar in the TM bowl and mill for 3 seconds on speed 10. Set aside.
3.Place butter into TM bowl and melt for 3 minutes at 60C on speed 1. Check that the butter is completely melted, if not, melt for a further 30 seconds.
4.Add the eggs, honey and sour cream and mix on speed 5 for 5 seconds.
5.Add the flour and sugar and mix on speed 5 for 10 seconds. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and if necessary, mix for another 5 – 10 seconds on speed 5, until the batter is nice and smooth.
6.Pour mixture into a bundt tin and bake for 30 minutes.
7.Serve as is with a nice cup of tea, or drizzle with warm honey and serve with some thick cream for a decadent dessert.
TIP!
For a beautiful bundt – make sure the bundt tin is really well-greased and lightly flour the tin before pouring the mixture in.

Denzelmum - Loooooove this cake. Made this to take to the crowd and gone in no time. Guess what - I'm baking this for the second time this evening (DS birthday party tomorrow). Thank you so much TAT!
jo nz - I've just made this in muffin tins - YUM! Thanks.
snappy - Delicious cake! Reminds me a lot of the famous Golden Syrup cake from this forum. I used spelt flour, rapadura and coconut butter (I'm trying to reduce the white flour/sugar in lunch boxes) and it was really tasty - boys loved it!
mab19 - I made this yesterday to take out to the family and everyone loved it. Was told to put it in the make again folder.
Kimmyh - Made this today with lots of help from DS4. Can't believe how quick and easy this is. Used a standard ring tin with no problems. Great cake and really nice served warmed with cream. Thanks tat for a great make again and again cake.
Thermesa - made 12 regular cupcakes and 24 mini cupcakes and plenty left to lick from the bowl. The batter is Delish!
cookie1 - You are so right about the batter Kimmy, it is delicious. The cake tastes lovely too, but guess who didn't grease the bundt tin enough?
CC - The recipe cooked perfectly in my honeycomb cake tin. I brushed all the nooks and crannies with cake release. Left it to cool in the tin for five minutes before turning it out onto a cake rack. Uni has a recipe here.

It looks lovely and who could resist when it is as fluffy as a cloud. ;)
-
Sounds yummy. Another great Donna Hay conversion TAT.

It's pretty hard to resist, I have to say! It's so easy and so delicious, I have made about 3 so far this week, all in the name of recipe testing! ;D Practice makes perfect!

Kimmyh, this one is a corker. I love melt and mix cakes because I am never organised enough to have soft butter on hand! Good old, Donna! ;D

My pleasure! It's a corker, isn't it? I'm about to make my fourth in a week! Any excuse, will do! So pleased your crowd loved it as much as mine did! ;D

Thanks.

Thanks.
I was wondering the other day how this would work in muffin form... all good, I hope! I must try!
-
Well, I don't have anything to compare, but seems pretty good ;D
I may just have to make as a cake and compare the results. Quite a sacrifice... ;)
DD is not a cake/muffin lover, but is mad about honey, so tomorrow's lunchbox will be a bit of a test. Will let you know what Miss Fussypants has to say about it.

That's a very positive sign that it was well liked. :D
-
I took one to a family party too, and it was loved by all. I think it has reappeared in some lunchboxes today, too!

Second honey cake baked last Saturday.

Pleased you liked it! The only problem is, that it tastes so good! ;D

Made a test batch today to see if its a pick for the school fete this weekend. Sounds like a good enough excuse to me. (http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/09/11/yhyze3y5.jpg)
12 regular cupcakes and 24 mini cupcakes and plenty left to lick from the bowl. The batter is Delish!
-
I was hoping to make this today. Didn't get to do it. It is on the list for tomorrow.
-
Yes, stay away from the batter. It's yummy.
-
I have lost of crystallized honey in my pantry, I'll be making these until it runs out. Thank you
-
I have just taken this out of the oven. You are so right about the batter Kimmy, it is delicious. The cake tastes lovely too, but guess who didn't grease the bundt tin enough?
-
Cookie, did you have the honeycomb cake tin?
-
I'm not sure what you mean by 'honeycomb' tin. I used a bundt tin.
-
This tin? I have been trying to come up with a reason to buy it for about 3 months! 😀
(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/09/13/maty6yte.jpg)
-
I think someone on the forum has that tin, I've seen a picture before.
I've thought about buying it too Snappy. It's very cute.
-
I have it girls ;) I used it here (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=8727.0) (photo at the bottom of the page) ;D
I'll try the recipe in the tin Snappy just for you :D :D
-
Oh CC I'm jealous! I have a small kitchen and limited storage so I can't buy all the kitchen things I want to. I think it would be great for monkey bread - yes I think I've found a reason to buy!
-
What a great tin. Yes snappy perfect for that recipe
-
For Snappy ;D The recipe cooked perfectly in my cake tin ;) Left it to cool in the tin for five minutes before turning it out onto a cake rack.

I have some coconut butter to use up... did you melt it in the thermie just like regular butter? What a great idea!
-

CC that looks amazing! Bravo! ;D
-
CC that is the perfect tin for this cake! It looks amazing
TAT, I don't melt the coconut butter, it's very soft in this weather so I just chuck it in as is.
-
I love that tin. Where can I buy it please Snappy? I'll have to haunt the kitchen shops to look for it.
-
I saw it at Williams Sonoma cookie
-
Fantastic CC.

Here you are Cookie Nordic Ware Honeycomb Cake Pan. (http://www.williams-sonoma.com.au/honeycomb-cake-pan.html) ;D :D
-
Thank you CC. I am so tempted. I would love to be able to make bread in it too.

Denise when you use this honeycomb cake tin (and other bundt tins) what do you grease the tin with?
-
I paint cake release into the nooks and crannies with a silicon pastry brush Katie.I use this (http://www.lakeland.co.uk/4198/Cake-Release?intcmp=INTSRCH:cake%20release) but Uni made and uses this successful recipe for cake release (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=7341.0) ;D
-
Thanks Denise!
I might make Uni's with gluten free flour, as some cakes I make are gf (for MIL).
I bought this tin ages ago, but haven't used it as yet.
-
I think I have seen that cake release at a kitchen shop somewhere. I seem to look in so many! ;D
