Spiced honey cake from Baking Chez Moi: Recipes from My Paris Home to Your Home Anywhere (page 48) by Dorie Greenspan

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    I could taste the honey and orange, but on the whole the cake was too dry for our tastes. Ok with tea or something, but not great.

    The flavour is described as "fascinating" and "haunting" in the headnotes. Unfortunately, that didn't mean good tasting to many who complained that the ginger and/or the lavender was overpowering. The orange was a nice touch though so I'll be including that in other spice cake recipes.
