Veena it’s 4:51 in the morning and definitely a great way to brighten up the week looking at the honey cake, bangalore style :-)) yummmmm
Easy to make and addictive bakery style honey cake
Here is another popular cake from Indian bakeries especially the Bangalore Iyengar bakeries. This honey cake is a basic eggless cake, soaked in a thin syrup of honey and sugar, topped with jam and some desiccated coconut. So basically it is loaded with sugar and definitely I should stay away from this. Did I??? Definitely no…..I did eat 3 pieces and still feel guilty about it but it brought back memories of my Karnataka days. I wonder why such cakes are not available any more. These are just yumm and you should try out this simple and easy cake. You can make use of any basic vanilla cake, with eggs or without and continue with the syrup and topping to make this delicious addictive honey cake
