What do you do with rye flour? Why, you make a delicious honey cake, of course!
1 cup Nash’s rye flour
1 cup Nash’s soft white wheat flour
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon orange zest
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon anise seeds, crushed (optional)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
2/3 cup honey
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup light vegetable oil
1/4 cup water
Preheat oven to 350 F. Lightly grease an 8-inch-by-8-inch baking pan and set aside.
Stir together dry ingredients, and then add honey, eggs, oil, and water. Mix the batter until the ingredients are incorporated, but not over-mixed, about two minutes. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake 30 minutes, until the cake tests done 1/2 inch from the center.
Cool the cake for 10 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
