Recipes - Mamie's Zeotekock

 

This is a honey cake recipe my grandmother brought with her from Belgium and she made it through the cooler weather.  I love it with a bit of butter spread on it.  

2 cups sifted all-purpose flour

3/4 cup honey

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 cup carnation milk mixed with 1/2 cup water (pretty sure this took the place of fresh cow's milk) 

1 cup brown sugar

1/4 tsp extract of anise or less

1 egg

1 tsp molasses

Preheat oven to 350F

Mix all ingredients together until well-blended. Pour into greased loaf pan and bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.

(I wrap in foil after letting it cool only 10 minutes in order to soften the crust. Mamie's was sticky and soft on top and no one has been able to duplicate this like she did because it wasn't something she would tell anyone how she did that - LOL)
