These beautiful, tasty lil loaves are fashioned after the traditional Jewish cakes served on Rosh Hashanah and they make fantastic gifts as they get even better as days go by. I am NOT sure that my version follows all the Jewish or Kosher rules, so no offense is intended. Read more Feel free to sub, if needed. See less

How to make it

- In electric or stand mixer, combine sugars and butter and mix well.
- Add honey and beat until smooth.
- Add vanilla and mix again.
- Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating between each
- Alternate adding dry ingredients and remaining wet ingredients(juice, tea and alcohol, if using) and mix slowly between each addition, until fully incorporated
- Fold in nuts and currants
- Pour into prepared(sprayed or greased) mini loaf pans, a lil more than 1/2 full. See Photo. Can use other pans, a Bundt pan, loaf pans(2, probably), 9X13, or even muffin pans. I used an 8 welled mini loaf pan and 2 slightly larger, aluminum mini loaf pans, as I was giving most as gifts.
- Bake at 350 until toothpick comes out JUST clean and cakes have risen nicely and are a beautiful golden color. See Photo. Time will vary, depending on the pan sizes/shapes. I baked the multi well pan for 30 minutes, the larger ones, 7 minutes longer, and the larger volume pans may take up to 45-50 minutes. DO NOT OVERBAKE
- Serve with whipped cream, if desired.
