This cake is my adaption of Leora Kimmel Greene's honey cake recipe from a Jewish recipe blog.The cake originally was made with brewed pomegranate tea and baked in a 10 inch tube pan with varying temperatures and a cooked glaze. Read more I used less honey, pomegranate juice and baked the cake in a decorative bundt pan with an uncooked glaze. The cake came out great and is a nice change from other honey cakes especially for the Jewish new year. This is not the typical cinnamon,nutmeg spiced cake but a pleasing mellow flavored cake with honey and pomegranate overtones. See less
