Hoffie Cake Recipe

Submitted by Karen

A simple cake recipe. Ingredients can easily be doubled/tripled depending on your cake tin and family size.

Ingredients for Hoffie Cake:

• 150g self raising flour
• 150g sugar – half demerara works well
• 150g butter or margarine
• 1 egg
• 2tsp honey
• 1tbsp desiccated coconut
• 1tsp crystallised ginger

Method for Hoffie Cake:

1. Cream together the butter/margarine and sugar;
2. Mix in the egg and sieve in the flour;
3. Bake the cake at 180 until a pick comes out clean;
4. Pour 2 teaspoons of honey over the top when still warm sprinkle with desiccated coconut.
5. Put a few crystallised ginger on the top if you have some on it.

It really does not matter if it sinks a bit; in a way this is good as it tastes much nicer slightly under cooked. Eat with cream or ice cream or just as it comes.
