In the spirit of trying new things and as the New Year approaches, here is a recipe from my kosher kitchen, a slightly different take on the traditional honey cake. It\u2019s a Rosh Hashanah favorite.<\/p>\n

TWO-LAYER APPLE-HONEY CAKE<\/strong><\/p>\n

2 cups flour
\n<\/strong>2 tsp baking soda
\n<\/strong>2 tsp ground cinnamon
\n<\/strong>1\/8 tsp ground nutmeg
\n<\/strong>1\/4 tsp ground cloves
\n<\/strong>3\/4 cup sugar or sugar substitute
\n<\/strong>1 1\/2 tsp vanilla extract
\n<\/strong>2 large eggs
\n<\/strong>3\/4 cup canola oil
\n<\/strong>1\/3 cup non-dairy creamer
\n<\/strong>1\/2 cup honey or honey substitute
\n<\/strong>3 cups grated apples<\/strong><\/p>\n

Frosting
\n<\/em>2 cups tofu cream cheese
\n<\/strong>1\/2 cup unsalted pareve margarine
\n<\/strong>1 tsp grated orange peel
\n<\/strong>1 cup confectioners sugar
\n<\/strong>2 tsp vanilla extract
\n<\/strong>1\/2 cup honey or honey substitute<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Preheat oven to 325\u02daF.<\/li>\n
  2. Put vegetable spray on two nine-inch cake pans.<\/li>\n
  3. Place flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and sugar or sugar substitute in a large bowl and mix.<\/li>\n
  4. Add vanilla, eggs, oil, non-dairy creamer and honey. Mix, then add apples. Place half of the batter in each baking pan. Bake in the oven about 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean. Cool.<\/li>\n
  5. Beat cream cheese and margarine in a bowl until fluffy.<\/li>\n
  6. Add orange peel, confectioners sugar and vanilla and blend. Add honey. Chill until firm enough to spread.<\/li>\n
  7. Place one cake on a serving dish. Spread with one cup of frosting. Top with the second cake and spread the remaining frosting on the top and sides.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
