The BEST Moist Honey Cake Recipe 🍯 | Rosh Hashanah Dessert
✨ Ultimate Moist Honey Cake Recipe 🍯
Soft, fragrant, and perfectly spiced — this honey cake is the must-bake dessert for Rosh Hashanah, Shabbat, or any Jewish holiday. Made with golden honey, coffee, and orange juice, it stays moist for days and the flavors deepen overnight!
👩🍳 Ingredients:
3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
4 tsp ground cinnamon
1 cup avocado oil (or neutral oil of choice)
1 cup honey
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
½ cup brown sugar
3 large eggs, room temp
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup warm coffee or strong tea
½ cup orange juice (fresh squeezed if possible)
📌 Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 pan or two loaf pans with parchment or use a Bundt pan.
In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, white & brown sugar.
In another bowl, whisk oil, honey, eggs, vanilla, OJ and coffee until smooth.
Slowly add dry mixture to wet. Don’t over-mix.
Bake: 50–55 min (9×13) OR 45–50 min (loaf pans). Toothpick should come out clean but moist.
Cool completely. Best enjoyed the next day once flavors deepen.
🥶 Freezes beautifully!! Be sure to wrap it really well in plastic wrap.

That looks soooo good. I'm trying to lose weight, but I can probably indulge in a slice or 2 if I make it. If not, I have 2 older boys (20 and 15) who will eat it.

What do you think of subbing the orange juice for apple juice? To lean more into the Rosh Hashanah theme 😇
Can I use almond flour instead ? If so same amount ?
I may not be Jewish but I have made this cake more than once and it turns out absolutely delicious every single time. Jewish I’m not Jewish you should really try this.
