Sour Cream and Honey Cake

At first I was a bit hesitant to make such a free form cake however I quickly got over that and just got on with it. The smell of the honey while it bakes is absolutely intoxicating. It's a scrumptious dense sweet tea cake that is exceptional and a pleasure to make.      

Sour Cream and Honey Cake

--------------------------------------------------------------------

1 cup unbleached all purpose flour

1 cup whole wheat flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

3/4 cup raisins

1/4 cup unsalted butter

5 oz sour cream

1/2 cup honey

Preheat oven to 400ºF. Line a baking tray with baking parchment paper. 

In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and raisins.

Rub in the butter with your fingertips. 

Make a well in the centre of the dry mixture and pour in the sour cream and honey. Mix it all together to make a dough. Place the dough onto the prepared baking sheet and roll the dough out in a rectangle until it is 3/4 of an inch thick. 

Bake for 12 to 15 minutes. Cool on a wire rack and cut into squares. 

Hope everyone's week is going well. - JD
