This cake is very light, has great honey flavor and is very attractive. I have used oil instead of butter. I also skipped the cream filling - as delicious as it looks it is not on our diet here. So it is a no egg- no butter wonderful honey cake. I think it is my new favorite! Here is what you will need for the cake: 3/4 cup low-fat milk 2 tablespoons of honey 1 tablespoon of yeast 2 cups of all-purpose flour 5 tablespoons of oil (I used sunflower oil) 1/4 teaspoon of Salt Here is what you will need for the glaze: 3 tablespoons of oil 2 tablespoons of honey 2 tablespoons of organic cane sugar ( I have substituted confectioners' sugar for cane sugar because first of all I did not have confectioners' sugar on hand, and second - I really like the flavor of the unrefined cane sugar and feel that it adds to the taste of the glaze) 1/8 of teaspoon of salt 2/3 of a cup of sliced almonds Mix warm milk, honey and yeast in a cup and let stand in a warm place until foamy ( 5 to 10 minutes). Add oil to the milk mix. Mix flour and salt in a bowl, add to the milk gradually and knead for about 3- 4 minutes. The dough comes out very sticky. I kneaded it with out adding any flour. Form dough in a ball. Coat bowl with a bit of oil, roll the dough around in it some to create light oil covering on the dough. Cover with kitchen towel. Let stand in a warm place until doubled in size. While dough is raising - make the glaze: Place all the ingredients except almonds in a pan and bring to boil. Mix to dissolve the sugar. Add almonds, mix to coat with syrup. Set a side to cool. Make sure it is completely cooled before spreading it on the dough. Once dough have doubled it size ( or close to that :) ) punch it down and spread by hand in 8x8 inch or 9 inch round pan. I put a bit of milk on my palm to make it easier to spread the dough. Cover the top with glaze, make sure that almonds are spread evenly. Let rise for about 15 minutes. Then place in the preheated to 350F oven and bake till golden on the top. Let cool before serving. This cake came out very light with caramel crunchy topping.
