Great cake, both in taste and texture (it's like a spice cake). I find, however, that only 1/4 C each of white and brown sugar is sufficient.

I made this cake for my children. I skipped the whiskey and orange juice but otherwise followed the recipe. I glazed the cake with a mixture of honey, brown sugar, butter, and vanilla essence. Next time I will poke holes in the cake first to let the glaze soak in for maximum moisture.

This cake is delicious! I followed the recipe exactly. It is so moist and flavorful and even better the next day. Will definitely make again. I don't think it needs icing but a nice dollop of whipped cream would be divine!

I thought this recipe looked familiar. This is Marcy Goldman's "Majestic and Moist New Yesr's Honey Cake" recipe out of her cookbook, A Treasury of Jewish Holiday Baking. The only variation is nutmeg instead of allspice, canola oil instead of vegetable oil, and the sliced or slivered almonds on top. None the less the very best Honey cake ever. I've been making it for years for holiday's and all year round and would never think of using a different recipe. Two notes, almonds are sprinkled on top prior to baking and you should let it cool in the pan for about 15 - 20 min and then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely before placing it on a serving platter.

This is a lovely cake. I didn't have any orange juice at home so had to use pineapple instead and still taste great! As I'm in Australia i also substituted the all purpose flour baking powder/soda and salt for Self raising flour. I iced mine with a lemon glaze. Really nice different flavour. Thank you

This bread was a hit at my daughters birthday party! The only thing I omitted was the whiskey because no one in my family drinks:) But its was wonderful! Even my mother in law who complains about everything liked it. I'll definitely be making it again for family occasions! Thanks

I made this cake on Rosh Hashanah. I put the batter into two loaf pans instead of the fluted tube pan. We all loved it. My husband took the second cake to work the next day and they loved it also. I have since made 2 more (one for my daughter's youth group and for her choir group). I followed the recipe except for the cloves (I didn't have it on hand), so I used allspice. Thank you for this recipe. It's the best honey cake recipe I have tried. Very most and had a great flavor.

Wonderful! I made this cake exactly as directed. It was easy and came out of the bundt pan beautifully. I only wish there was a glaze that went with it - I wasn't sure what would go best so I didn't glaze it. Everyone at work loved it and I got to tell them about what Rosh Hashanah is all about! Thanks for a wonderful recipe - will be making again!

Dee-Lish!! Everyone loved this cake. Very moist and fragrant. Easy to make. I made the following small adjustments: 3/4 cup honey, 1/2 cup molasses; omitted whiskey; reduced sugar to 3/4 C white sugar; 1/2 C brown sugar. In my oven it was done in 50 minutes. Thank you for this recipe!
