Yum!
Also - because I didnt read all the comments, I prepared the coffee (My husband made a pot, and I took 8oz of it :)) I also used the same regular flour I use for my challah.

Yum!
I made this back in July for some co-workers and it was a huge hit. I made one with apple sauce instead of oil and one as directed.. both turned out wonderfully and were loved by all. I made mine in a loaf pan and thats what my family has requested for Rosh Hashanah this year.

Why not substitute apple sauce for margarine or butter or oil?

Honey cake
An addition of crumbled Kosher graham crackers gives it a nice touch and flavor.
