Most South Indian bakeries offer squares of distinctly spiced honey cake, usually topped with a honey glaze, spread with jam and sprinkled with coconut flakes. Make your own at home with this honey cake recipe. Start with a batter including orange juice and orange zest for tang, cardamom for spice, sweetened condensed milk for richness and optional rose water for a floral flair. Pierce the cooled cake with a toothpick all over, and drench with a clover honey syrup. Slather preserves of your choice on top and finish it off with a sprinkling of shredded coconut. Pull out the measuring tape to slice precise squares, or dig in any way you choose!
