INSTRUCTIONS
Recently posted to the rfcj ng ...From: Lita (alotzkar@direct.ca) This
quick and easy cake is a special holiday cake from the Turkish Jewish
tradition. Make extra cakes and share them with your friends and
family as gifts. The traditional way is to mix all dry ingredients on
a board using your hands, rubbing and sifting them until well mixed.
Make a mound and put a hole in the center. Pour oil and water in
center and make into a dough. Kneed the dough for about 1 minute. Put
all the dry ingredients in a bowl if you must, and mix well. Add the
oil and water and make a dough, kneed for 1 minute or so. Place dough
in a greased, use oil, 9" pan. Bake in a pre heated oven at 350 for 1
hour. remove and allow to cool. The Honey Syrup: In a pot over medium
high heat cook honey, water, lemon juice and zest. Allow to reduce by
1/4 . Place cake in a shallow plate and with a fork, make holes all
over the top of the cake. Pour the warm syrup over the cake and allow
to sit 1 hour before serving. This is a delicious cake that is great
with coffee. Posted to JEWISH-FOOD digest V97 #322 by Jeff Freedman
