INSTRUCTIONS
Here is Jeff Smith's recipe for a birthday cake that may have been
served around the time of Jesus' birth. Combine the flour, baking
powder, cinnamon, and baking soda. Set aside. Dissolve the instant
coffee in the water in a mixing bowl. Blend in the oil, honey, grated
orange peel, and rose water and set aside. In a large bowl, beat the
eggs until frothy. Gradually add the sugar and beat for 1 minute. Add
the honey mixture to the eggs and sugar. Add the flour mixture to the
egg mixture alternately with the dissolved coffee, starting and ending
with the dry ingredients. Stir in the nuts. Pour the batter into an
oiled and waxed paper-lined 13x9x2 inch baking pan. Bake in a
preheated 325 oven for about 50 minutes. Test for doneness. Invert
cake onto wire rack. Cool. Peel off the waxed paper and wrap in
aluminum foil to maintain freshness. Posted to EAT-L Digest 17 Feb 97
