Author Notes
I will doubtlessly regain tomatoes thrown at me for publishing this very secret family recipe, however I judge it is so simply that I am feeling daring enough to part it.
Traditionally a Jewish Unusual twelve months dessert, this rich and sweet cake might possibly perhaps be enjoyed any time of year. The fantastic thing about the honey along with the burnished tang of the espresso regain a particular flavor I haven’t tasted in other adaptations. Do no longer be shy with the espresso strength! Use the darkest roast or espresso it’s likely you’ll perhaps perhaps possibly discover – the form it’s likely you’ll perhaps perhaps never dare to drink murky. This might perhaps perhaps intensify the coloration and the taste of the cake past your wildest imagination.
Tip: Some folks determine to add raisins or chopped nuts to the recipe. That’s fully no longer significant, however I determine a tender crumb. – SharonP

Test Kitchen Notes
I made Sharon P’s Coffee and Clover Honey Cake and brought it to work and it used to be an mammoth hit. All of us cherished the moist texture and the energetic honey taste. On the different hand, even although I made a double-strength cup of espresso as directed, it primarily did no longer taste the least bit indulge in espresso however the flavour of clove used to be rather overwhelming, even even though it used to be simply half of a teaspoon. When I construct the cake yet again (and I will construct it yet again, it’s a allotment of cake—forgive the pun—to construct), I will proceed out the cinnamon and clove and add some powdered espresso to amp up the espresso flavor, and possibly a chunk cocoa. Having said that, I discontinuance indicate it as an Editors’ Draw shut, and might possibly perhaps simply overview serving it recurrently, especially for the Jewish Unusual twelve months. – drbabs —drbabs
