This Melt and Mix Honey Cake is the perfect cake for any occasion and it takes longer to collect the ingredients than it does to make the batter (even without a Thermomix – see tip below!)
It’s Jewish New Year. Traditionally, this is a time to eat apples and honey to bring on a sweet new year. However, you don’t have to be Jewish or wait for New Year to make this cake! The heroes of this cake are the honey and the sour cream; the honey gives it such a deliciously sweet taste and the sour cream makes it light and fluffy as a cloud.
Put your money on the honey, baby! Perfect as a teatime treat or serve with a dollop of thick cream for a delicious dessert!

TIP!
If you don’t have a Thermomix, this cake is still simple. Just substitute caster sugar for raw sugar. Melt the butter in the microwave or in a pan, and then follow the steps 4 and 5 to mix the dry ingredients!
For a beautiful bundt – make sure the bundt tin is really well-greased and lightly flour the tin before pouring the mixture in.
