Cornish Honey Cake

I thought I would create a Cornish Honey Cake and submit it as my entry for the Best of British Blogger Challenge Cornwall edition. The blogger challenge is sponsored by The Face of New World Appliances and the host of the Cornish round is fellow Cornish dweller Choclette. A slice of this, without question, would be best enjoyed warm out of the oven with a big dollop of Cornish Clotted Cream Ice Cream.

    It looks delicious Beth, I love honey cake and how good to use fabulous Cornish honey - the clotted cream ice-cream addition sounds rather good too. Thanks for participating in the challenge.

    Looks delicious. I really don't bake with honey enough. Bet it would taste great warm with custard, sort of like a syrup sponge :)

    We love honey in this house, my son sweetens his milk with a teaspoon of honey, and I'm sure we'd love this cake, it looks delicious.

    I adore honey in baking - not so keen on it as a toast topping, but in cakes - yes please! This looks awesome. I can see from the photos that it looks sticky and yummy
