INSTRUCTIONS
Stir together the spices, salt flour, and baking powder. Stir in the
almonds and lemon rind. In a separate bowl beat the eggs and sugar
until a ribbon is formed when the beater is removed. Stir in the honey
and milk. Gradually stir in the flour mixture; beat until smooth.
Spread the batter in an 11 X 17-inch jelly roll pan that is well
greased and floured. Bake at 400 degrees F for 12 to 15 minutes, until
the cake is done. While the cake is still warm, turn it out onto a
wire rack. To make the almond glaze, mix the confectioners' sugar,
almond extract, rum, and 1 to 2 T of water. Beat until glaze is smooth
and of the right consistency. Add more water to thin if neccessary.
Spread the warm cake with the almond glaze. Cut cake into 1 X 2
1/2-inch bars while still warm. Spice bars keep 6 to 8 weeks in a
sealed container if not glazed. Makes 4 dozen bars. From Gemini's
