A low fat French Honey cake
SPICE BREAD : That’s how we call it in France where it is sold in every grocery store. It keeps for a very long time, unless you eat it all up. If you really want it to be delicious to the extreme, you cut in thin slices and spread butter or sour cream on it.
Stir dry ingredients first:
- 2 2/3 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
Mix in and stir very very little:
- 3/4 cup honey
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 small can of evaporated milk or substitute
Pour into a grease and flour dusted loaf pan.
Bake at 325 for an hour and 10 minutes
Tip: Wrap and store for a day before serving.
You will know if it came out right if, when you bite in to it, you can feel the crystalized honey here and there.
