Aromatic and moist, it will win over any sweet lover without them realizing it contains no butter or milk. Let’s see how we can make this delight step by step!
Ingredients for the cake:
- 3 cups of water
- 1 cup of oil
- 3-4 cups of flour
- 1 cup of sugar
- 5 tablespoons of honey
- 1 vanilla essence
- 1 rum essence
- A handful of ground walnuts
- A handful of raisins
- 1 baking powder
- Cocoa (for decoration)
Ingredients for the glaze:
- 6 tablespoons of sugar
- 6 tablespoons of water
- 6 tablespoons of oil
- 2 tablespoons of cocoa
Preparation:
1. Preparing the mixture: In a large bowl, combine water with sugar and mix well until the sugar completely dissolves. This step is essential for obtaining a moist and tasty cake.
2. Adding the ingredients: Gradually add the oil, then incorporate the flour, baking powder, honey, vanilla, and rum essences. Mix well with a mixer or spatula until you achieve a homogeneous mixture.
3. Adding nuts and raisins: Fold in the ground walnuts and raisins into your batter. They will add texture and wonderful flavor to the cake.
4. Preparing the cocoa mixture: Set aside 2 tablespoons of the batter and mix them with 1 tablespoon of cocoa. This will be the base for decorating your cake.
5. Preparing the baking pan: Line a rectangular baking pan with flour and parchment paper. This will prevent the cake from sticking to the pan, ensuring you can easily remove it after baking.
6. Pouring the mixture: Pour the batter into the pan and level it well. Then, add the cocoa mixture on top and use a fork to distribute it evenly, creating a marbled effect.
7. Baking: Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius and bake the cake for 20-25 minutes. Test if it is baked using a toothpick; it should come out clean.
8. Preparing the glaze: In a small saucepan, combine sugar, water, oil, and cocoa. Heat over low flame, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to boil. Let it cool slightly before pouring it over the cooled cake.
9. Serving: Once the cake has cooled, cut it into squares and pour the glaze over it. If desired, you can decorate with ground walnuts or coconut flakes for an elegant look.
Unique suggestion: Serve the cake with a scoop of soy yogurt or a fruit sauce for a delicious contrast! This Nut and Honey Cake is perfect for any occasion, from gatherings with friends to festive meals.
I wish you good luck in cooking and hope you enjoy this simple yet flavorful recipe!
