Teisen Mel - Welsh honey and spice cake

Ingredients

Method🍳

  1. Preheat the oven to 160°C (fan). Grease a 12-hole muffin tin or line with paper cases.

  2. 🥣 In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, mixed spice and cinnamon. Stir in the brown sugar.

  3. 🍯 In a small saucepan, gently heat the honey and butter until melted and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.

  4. 🥄 Add the cooled honey mixture to the dry ingredients and mix well.

  5. 🥚 Stir in the beaten egg and milk until you have a smooth batter.

  6. 🥄 Spoon the mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each hole about two-thirds full.

  7. 🔥 Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden and springy to the touch. A skewer should come out clean.

  8. 🌬 Cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips

  1. 🍋 Add a touch of grated lemon zest to the batter for a light citrus lift.

  2. 🍯 For deeper flavour, try using Welsh heather honey if you can find it!

  3. 🧁 These keep beautifully for several days in an airtight tin—and the flavour improves as they sit.
