Dear all,
I have just been sent a delicious cake from the island of Madeira which was
simply called honey cake. I would really like to make some of my own as the
cake was a delicious moist, spicy, dense textured cake with fruit and nuts.
I don't think there was actually any honey in the cake but the picture on
the wrapper showed a big sugar cane plant. The cake is leavened with yeast
but it is really not like a bread. I have only found one recipe which was
so vague I would be hesitant to try it - one of those that has a lot of
quantities that are simply 'add enough' - fine if you know what you are doing.
Any help would be really welcome
