Holiday Cakes Aided
By Use of Honey
Honey, or which about IVz million
pounds are produced in Oregon each
year, is an ideal sweet for holiday
cakes, says Miss Lillian Taylor, as
sistant professor of foods and nutri
tion at Oregon "State college.
It adds to the rich, blended flavor,
and because of its quality of absorb
ing moisture, helps to keep the cake
from drying, she says. Its concen
trated sweetness helps to preserve
cake that will be kept for some time.
While cane sugar is just one sugar,
chemically, honey contains three su
gars, Miss Taylor says, one of which
is fruit sugar or levulose, which is
sweeter than ordinary sugar. The
sweetness of honey varies according
to the amount of levulose it contains,
but because of the water in honey,
it averages about the same sweet
ness, measure for measure, as or
dinary sugar.
Although honey is one-fifth water,
the liquid in a recipe where honey
is substituted for sugar sometimes
must be reduced a little more than
one-fifth, according to the consist
ency of the honey and the propor
tion of honey used. If medium- thick
honey is substituted for one-half the
sugar in cake or quick-bread re
cipes, Miss Taylor advises reducing
the liquid one-fourth. If the honey
is substituted for all the sugar, re
duce the liquid one-half.
In making honey cakes and quick
breads, it is best to mix the honey
with the liquid, she says. Bake at the
lowest temperature possible for the
particular product, as this prevents
loss or change of the flavor of the
honey and avoids too rapid brown
ing. Unless in a tightly sealed contain
er, it is necessary that honey be
stored in a dry place, or it will ab
sorb moisture and ferment, as will
other sugar syrup. Almost all honeys
crystallize on aging, but can be liqui
fied by warming the container in
moderately hot water not over 140
degrees F.
