WIth The GREAT News We Got Today, Let's Do Something Fun With The Honey!
Recipe: www.coghillfarm.com/honey-cake
Having our own honey bees and freshly harvested honey has inspired us to find delicious ways to incorporate this golden nectar into our cooking. This honey cake is a perfect example of how we love to highlight the natural sweetness and rich flavor of our homegrown honey. The addition of honey syrup not only enhances the cake's moistness but also infuses it with even more honey goodness, making every bite a delightful experience. We hope you enjoy baking and savoring this cake as much as we do!
Honey Cake
Ingredients:
Cake:
1 cup plain flour (Note 1)
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp kosher salt
225g (1 cup) unsalted butter, at room temperature (Note 2)
2/3 cup honey
4 large eggs, at room temperature (Note 3)
3 tbsp milk, preferably full-fat, slightly warmed
Pinch of orange zest (optional, enhances honey flavor)
1/3 cup almond flakes
Honey Syrup:
2/3 cup honey
1/4 cup water
3/4 tsp lemon juice (recommended but optional)
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F
Prepare the cake pan:
Butter and line a 20cm/8" round pan or springform pan with baking paper on the base and sides.
Mix dry ingredients:
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Cream butter and honey:
In a separate bowl, cream the butter and honey for 3 minutes until smooth and fluffy, using a handheld beater on speed 7 or a stand mixer with a whisk attachment, scraping down the sides halfway.
Add eggs and flour:
Add one egg and mix with a wooden spoon for 30 seconds until mostly incorporated (the mixture may look curdled). Then add 1/4 of the flour mixture and mix until the batter comes together. Repeat this process, alternating eggs and flour, until all are incorporated.
Add milk and zest:
Stir in the milk and orange zest until the batter is almost completely smooth. The batter should be thick but soft.
Bake:
Scrape the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the surface, and sprinkle with almond flakes. Bake for 45 minutes or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool:
Remove the cake from the oven and cool in the pan for 30 minutes. This step is crucial to avoid a dense cake when soaked with syrup.
Make the honey syrup:
While the cake cools, bring the honey and water to a gentle boil over medium-low heat for 5 minutes. Add the lemon juice and boil for 2 more minutes. Remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes.
Poke and soak:
Poke about 30 holes all over the cake using a skewer, making sure to go between the almond flakes. Pour 1/4 of the warm honey syrup over the surface. Repeat 3 more times, waiting for the syrup to soak in between pours. Let the cake soak for 15 minutes.
Serve:
Serve the cake warm. Remove the sides of the springform pan or serve directly from the pan.
Storage:
Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days. Warm before serving, as the cake becomes firm when cold.

Hey FYI to alot of people who didn't know this about honey as well, my dog was attacked by some other dogs, they chewed both her back legs up badly, I thought for sure I was going to have to have her put down. The Vet said no let's try this therapy we just started using, it was a Honey Wet Treatment. They were putting honey on her open wounds. They were able to save one leg, the other did have to come off. Come to find out Honey is used in alot of wound care treatments. Well I keep raw uncut honey now, Dixie "my Boston " sometimes catches her one left leg because she sometimes drags it, if I see a open wound I put that honey on wrap it up within a couple of days the swelling is down and she's going like nothing happen. Honey really is GOLD!! ❤❤❤

My sister had a very bad bed sore, which had to be cleaned out almost to the bone to get all the infection out. Her wonderful Dr tried the honey on her, and it healed her completely from the inside out instead of topically like most medications.

@@debbiewhite3601 I'm not sure what type they used on her during her treatments, they would clean her wounds put the honey on then wrap it back up.. she had to go to them every 2 days for a week.. then they had to take the one leg but continued with the treatments for her other leg but just 1 a week.. I did that for 3 weeks. Within that 3rd week her other leg went from looking like hamburger meat to a leg again.
I saw a news blurb the other day that the worldwide honey bee population is at an all time high! Way to go guys! You're contributing to those stats!

Per the Washington Post this week - We’ve added almost a million bee colonies in the past five years. We now have 3.8 million, the census shows. Since 2007, the first census after alarming bee die-offs began in 2006, the honeybee has been the fastest-growing livestock segment in the country! And that doesn’t count feral honeybees, which may outnumber their captive cousins several times over.

Of course the bees are thriving cog hills the best place to live ❤️🫏🦆🚜🐐🐈⬛🐎🐝🙏🏻
i was raised by a grandmother who believed a Poke cake made everything all right, no matter what was wrong! lol! We lived near a wooded area where wild bees hived in rotten trees. She would go there with a galvanizes bucket and come home with it full of honey, and never a sting. She wore her regular clothing, no protection. When she was asked how she did it, she just said, "T know bees and they know me". She was born in a small town on the Ohio - Virginia border, which has disappeared.
Thanks in part to these CogHill BEES and the great Bee Keepers.... And all the flowering varieties Farmer Jason has propagated and planted 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝
The bees are thriving on the Cog Hill Farm just like all the other animals are!!!! "COG HILL FARM HONEY CRUNCH POKE CAKE!" Looks delicious!😊❤

It's so exciting to hear how well the bees are doing at Cog Hill! ALL creatures thrive at Cog Hill! That cake looked absolutely delicious!
Those bees are thriving because of all the beautiful flowers and plants you have planted around your property! 🌻🌺☘🌳🌼🌹🐝 The cake looks delicious! Love from Texas 😍
So cute, Jason... Loved when you peeked in and began your DANCE
That Rachel has a very charismatic personality a such a lovely smile...so glad your bees are in such great hands! Thanks for sharing about the honey cake...:) I bet will go good with Cog Hill Farm Coffee.
When i was a kid, honey based popcorn balls was a favorite. Sometimes the honey was thinned out with some corn syrup.

You have happy bees. Make sure you talk to them and tell them of births and deaths. Granny Weatherwax used to dance with her bees!
Your cooking videos are super, Brooke! And you and your "taste tester" appear to be very happy with the outcome! I know you've said these cooking shows are harder to make; but you do such a good job with them and they're fun to watch!

Dedicated to the amazing bees 🐝 at Cog Hill. Yummy for sure. Your faces when you got to taste that cake 😂 pure joy. I’m so glad the Nectar Ninjas and Cog Hill are helping nature and the community. I just love watching everyone thrive. Thank you Cog Hill 🥰
So delighted bee's doing great. 👍🥰. Blessings 🙏🫶🙏🫶
I know that if you eat locally produced honey everyday, that you will become immune, to certain allergies, that come from pollen. That cake looks, and sounds, amazing.
I loved that little giggle Jason did after he had a bite of 🎂 cake! 😊 tells me it's a yummy one.
That's so awesome about your hives and the production your bees are doing! All those beautiful flowers are certainly making them happy. Thanks for posting the recipe for the cake. It sounds delicious! I just printed it to pdf and saved it.
Good Morning Mrs Cog Hill and all of the Cog Squad!
How exciting that the bees are making so much honey. And oh my goodness that cake looked like it was delicious.❤
Brooke, you look stunning in the pink & pearls 💕
Everything seems to thrive on Cog Hill Farm! It's a beautiful place to spend your life with loving people!💕
I knew it must be a good cake when Jason took the plate from you. Lol It did look good! 😊
You are such great hosts for the bees. It’s like being invited to a never ending buffet.
Such great news about the bees! And that cake looked amazingly good!
Thank you Mrs Cog Hill Farm, BROOKE... WELL DONE👍🏼🐝
❤watching the video ❤ Brooke you and Jason a blessed and happy day. Be safe out there.
Jason you are a hoot with your dance!!!
Many people don’t know or understand how important bees are to the environment, agriculture and our life in general. Thank you so much for helping preserve a healthy, well fed bee population. Looking forward to getting some Cog Hill Honey and trying that cake. I’ll be using pecans as I’m not a fan of almonds, but I know it still will be excellent.
Mr. Cog Hill was so cute dancing!
I’m impressed! Now that’s HIGH praise in the south!
Hi Brooke that’s fantastic news about the bees. Just shows how when the environment is right cog hill 🐝 know just what to do. Be interesting to see how much honey you all get. The cake looked delicious too. Have a wonderful day take care God bless. 💕🙏🐝🍯
That's a fancy poke cake, looks good and sounds delicious. I've made them with jello and pudding and chocolate sauce. Good to hear the bees are thriving. Honey bees are recovering which is great news. I hope the natives bees are too. Carry on
Good Morning Brooke, Jason and the furry gang!
The bees are thriving at Cog Hill cause y'all have everything they love and need ! It's amazing ! Brooke your cake looked delicious !Jason he's ready to taste , he likes 😆😆
Brooke, you can make HONEY WHIPPED CREAM, it's just like whipped cream but with honey instead of sugar; heavy cream, honey & vanilla, whipped until stiff peaks.😋 Also, you can make WHIPPED HONEY, just take about 1 cup of honey & whip it in your stand mixer for about 10 minutes until turns light in color & light and airy.😉 Lastly, you ought to try FREEZE DRYED HONEY by dropping small pools of honey or drops of honey or both sizes onto parchment paper then into your freeze dryer..🤔 Wonderful news about your bees!! Lovely cake, looks delicious!!🥰
Good afternoon Brooke. It is beautiful out there. Wow sky trees. Your property is beautiful.😊hi Jason
I as a child had access to my Dad's honey and the honeycomb. He had 3 hives for a family of 8 members. We had 6 gardens of vegetables, Muscadine and scupponong grape vines and fruit trees wild and domestic ,black berry vines that was used by all these bees. Fields with clover were available, too
I know that took time to film but it was so worth it! That looked so good and NO SUGAR!
Good morning Brooke, your bees are doing well, fantastic!! Poke cake yum. 👍👍❤️❤️🇨🇦
That looks and sounds delicious Brooke, I’ll have to try that, thanks for the recipe.
It’s all Jason’s beautiful flowers at Cog Hill!!
Good Morning Coghill
That cake looks amazing, gonna have to try it. Great job on having what the bee"s need to prosper. Blessings
Poke Cake and Cog Hill Honey. Yum Yum‼️
FUN FACT- the internet says in 1897 in a tiny town-Roy, New York- a man named Pearle Bixby Wait who was an amateur cough syrup inventor, invented Jell-O. He patented Jell-O & sold the company in 1930’s. In 1964 the Geneese company needed to revitalize the Jell-O so they invented the “Poke Cake”. It was marketed across the Nation. I have eaten poke cake’s since the 60’s & made many poke cakes for my family. Mostly I have used jello, but have also used thinned frosting glaze. 💜👋🏻
Good afternoon, Brooke! ✋😃🇸🇪
Fresh raspberries or strawberries or Jason's favorite blackberries and whipped cream... Worthy of any 5 star restaurant!
When I was younger we used to make the Poke cake with Jello, but going to try it with Honey!
Hello Brooke and Jason oh my goodness that looks delicious yummy..❤️🙏❤️🙏
Great HONEY news! A bountiful "harvest" and a poke cake honey recipe! Thank you, Brooke! P.S. Your kitchen is always immaculate! 👍👏❤🐝🌸🌻
Thank You Brooke for showing us this great recipe. With Cog Hill Honey & Eggs WOW Looks Delish.. And Looks like Mr Cog Hill approves. AWESOME!! Yeah for The Cog Hill Bees and those Awesome Nectar Ninja

Yay 🍯 and 🐝 and Cog Hill !!!!!!! 🙌🏻💞💙🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙌🏻
Hi Brooke! What a Yummy looking cake! The bees 🐝 are doing a wonderful job & your whole Family is amazing 🙏🙏🙏Blessing’s
Good morning Brooke, Jason and all residents on the 40! Great video! Although cooking videos co`sume so much of Brooke's time I admit yhey are one of my favorites. And I appreciate rge link to the recipe in the comments. I was born and have always llived in the SE USA. As a child I occasionally had Pokey Holes for breakfast - or even a snack. For me it was normal. Grab a warm biscuit, use a finger to poke a hole in the side of the biscuit to create a small pocket opening. Pour honey in the opening and enjoy! Of course you had to eat fast, it would quickly leak. My solution was to mix honey and peanut butter together then add the thicker mixture to the biscuit. Deliciousness! Sweet memories! I must try Brooke's Poke Cake recipe, it sounds delightful.
Brooke, you look very natural in your demonstration and articulation of this cooking video! I appreciate all the time and effort you put into it and look forward to the next one and the one after that....
I can't wait to make this cake. I'm thinking of a Memorial Day treat with the neighbors
wonderful wonderful news about your bees, Rachel was sure excited. You need to rename your cake - Cog Hill Honey Poke Cake. with all that honey you can make Baklava
WOW thank you for sharing about the bees. It's all those flowers y'all planted.🙏🏻💖
We ARE ENJOYING our honey from CoggHillFarms ( would love nice jar of that clea, beautiful honey ❤️❤️
I've made POKE CAKES before... Basically used Jello or pudding for the drizzle. This HONEY CAKE sounds delish
Watching from WA state! Love watching the bees and watching you cook a poke cake!
Love you two.✌🏻❤️🙏🏻 God bless
Looks delicious Brooke! With Jason’s reaction I think it was a hit. Have a great day! 🍯
Good⚡️☔️ Thursday morning from Venus, Texas. ❤
That looks wonderful. Jason is a lucky man. Using your own eggs and honey is so cool
My grandmother use to make a poke cakes. She mostly poured pudding on top then whipped cream.
Ms. Brook this cake looks amazing
Good morning! I like how Jason took the fork and plate from Brooke and ate the cake, lol I would have done the same. I'm going to make this cake! Have a super day!
Thank you for the reply
Poke cake is so Easy and Delicious...One of my Favorite cakes to make...First introduced in the 1976 by Jello in their booklet of recipes. Any Jello flavor is good...So moist....Yours looks Delicious with Honey as well!...
Wow your bees are thriving Brooke. Loved the cake recipe, so good to see you cooking. Love it ❤
Brooke you made that cooking video like a pro!
You guys are great!! Thanks for the lovely recipe,Jason is so funny he almost cleaned that piece to himself ! And danced for it!!🕺🕺🕺
During the depression they made a lot of deserts with honey since sugar was a commodity that you had to have stamps for. It was government regulation. And many farmers had hives if not there was trees with bees.
This cake looks so good. I will have to make it for my family. We are raising our granddaughter's and I think they will like this. I'm so happy that the bees are doing so well. You guys are amazing!!! Love you guys❤
Good morning Brooke and Jason. The cake looks wonderful. So glad your bees are doing so well.
I swear i can smell that cake, and my mouth is watering!!😋🌼🌺💗
I just knew those bees were going to be working hard with all the flowering plants yall have. Brooke you did a great job with the cake I think I will try it❤❤
That cake looks amazing! I’m in California and I have heard of and had poke cakes, they were popular in the 60s and 70s.🤗💖
Good afternoon Brooke hope everything is going well for you today ❤
I know your cooking videos take you a full work day to make, but gosh they’re awesome! I love watching you make things! You’re such a talented women, you can do it all!!!
