לֶעקַאך · a sweet start to a sweet year · makes one loaf
What you'll need
- 2 cups flour
- 1 cup honey
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3 eggs
- 3/4 cup strong brewed coffee or tea, cooled
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- pinch of salt
Steps (grown-up handles the oven)
- Kids: Preheat the oven to 350°F with a grown-up. Grease a loaf pan.
- Kids: In a big bowl, whisk together the honey, brown sugar, oil, and eggs until smooth.
- Kids: Stir in the coffee or tea.
- Kids: In another bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
- Kids: Pour the dry mix into the wet mix, a little at a time, and stir until just combined — small lumps are okay!
- Grown-up: Pour into the pan and bake 50–60 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Everyone: Cool completely before slicing. Drizzle with extra honey if you like it extra sweet.
