Would you like to make your cakes with <\/span>honey? It’s <\/span>a <\/span>more<\/span> natural, beneficial and nutritious sweetener than sugar. <\/span>Let’s try, t<\/span>here are <\/span>just <\/span><\/strong>three simple rules to follow.<\/strong> <\/span><\/h2>\n

Cook with honey<\/strong>\u2026.. <\/span>I\u2018 d<\/span> never thought to use this precious food instead of sugar, since my family has a honey maker! <\/span>Then I\u2019ve <\/span>changed my habits.<\/span> The first jar<\/strong> brought at home. The pleasure of eating <\/span>h<\/span>oney from our bees. Little fingers dipped in the jar. Sticky fingerprints on the glass\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

Besides just being good<\/strong>, honey is full in ownership<\/strong>: it\u2019s less caloric than the sugar, it is more energetic and it has precious emollients and depurative qualities. <\/span>Are these reason enough?<\/p>\n

All we have to do is follow <\/span>three simple <\/span>rules<\/strong>:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Which variety to choose? <\/span><\/strong>The flavor of honey depends on the type of flower the bees worked to produce the honey. Multiflower or Acacia are the best, otherwise the flavor honey aroma will <\/span>be<\/span> too much present in your cake.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. My Honey Hardened: What to Do?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>It’s easy to re-liquefy crystallized honey by removing the container’s lid, and heating it in very hot water. <\/span><\/li>\n
  3. How much Honey?<\/span><\/strong> Because honey is technically sweeter than sugar, less is needed to achieve the same results. A very general rule of thumb for replacing sugar with honey is to decrease the honey by half. If your recipe calls for 1 cup of sugar, try it with 1\/2 cup of honey.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Today I\u2019m going to share the apple cake, one of my favo<\/span>u<\/span>rite dessert. It\u2019s an autumn cake, and the flavo<\/span>u<\/span>r of lemon remind me the one that my grandmother was used to bake for Sunday lunch. Memories of a sweet past. Now I\u2019m going to share it with you.<\/span><\/p>\n
