Another family recipe from the Masale cookbook: Spicy honey and nut cake
– easy to prepare
– without eggs
– with a small amount of vegetable oil
Ingredients:
1 glass of boiling water
black leaf tea *
2,5 glasses flour

1 tsp. soda
1 tsp. ground Ceylon cinnamon **
6 pcs. cloves – grind in a mortar
lemon zest
dates, candied fruit, raisins – as desired, but no more than a handful
