Honey cake is meant to symbolize the sweetness we hope to find in the year to come.  But traditional recipes are lacking and most people don’t really like the dense, dark, dry, overly sweet holiday cake.  Well, hope is not lost for the honey cake, Marcy Goldman has a recipe that is sure to not disappoint.  Her honey cake is moist, tender, light, and oh so good.  Instead of clove or allspice she uses cinnamon, orange juice, and rye whiskey to round out the coffee flavor.
