Hope you all had a nice relaxing summer. On Friday we are going celebrate Rosh Hashanah. Like every Jewish holiday it involves lots of food. Dessert is always the fun part of the meal especially in Rosh Hashanah, where the tradition is full of sweet treats. Honey cake is one of the most popular desserts for this holiday season.
I’d like to share with you a family recipe for honey cake from Israel.
Ingredients
6 eggs (separated)
1 cup of sugar
1 cup of water (room temperature)
2 teaspoons instant coffee
¾ cup of oil
¾ cup of honey
3 cups of flour
2 teaspoons cinnamon
Directions
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
In a mixing bowl beat the egg whites while gradually adding the sugar until stiff and fold into the batter.
In a second mixing bowl whisk the water, instant coffee, oil, honey and the egg yolks.
In a third bowl mix the flour and the cinnamon.
Mix the wet ingredients (bowl 2) with the dry one (bowl 3). Add the new mix to the egg whites and stir slowly.
You may add almonds or pecans or any kind of nuts.
Place mixture in the oven for 1-1 ½.

The Passion for Authentic Israeli Food
There are some life experiences that you take with you wherever you may go. For Dorit Paz and Hava Nachum, that was the aroma of freshly baked goods from the markets back home in Israel. The coffee shops and Shabbat cooking that wafted through the streets of Haifa and Herzliya, Israel, where they grew up. The blend of food, culture, taste, and ambience, they look forward to sharing here in Northern Virginia.
Upon moving to the United States more than a decade ago, they brought with them the taste of home through cooking for both family and friends. The atmosphere which they brought to their homes preserved culture and the ambience from Israel. The struggle to provide the same level of healthiness, not just taste, to their recipes led them to discover new recipes (and in our opinion, perfected) through the use of the finest, natural ingredients.
What began as a hobby, turned into a catering service, and evolved into a concept for an Israeli restaurant for the community. Hava and Dorit created an ultra-modern falafel and hummus menu, which they refer to as “art”. The know-how of making falafel and the toppings and then perfectly stuffing them into the right pita make the experience out of this world. The menu, which is based on fresh, all natural and organic ingredients, offers a unique, high-end Israeli falafel experience.
