Ostara Honey Cake

This will be my first Ostara so I’ve been putting together my recipes for the event. The following recipe is a dairy and egg free cake with a hint of honey; a simple recipe I’ve modified. It can even be gluten free if you substitute a gluten free all purpose flour (I personally like Bob’s Mill) Perfect desert for the sabbat! It’s simple, not overly sweet, and I’ll be putting a light lemon glaze on top, but it would be wonderful plain. A perfect finish to bring in Spring/Summer.

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 cup granulated sugar 1 cup honey, warmed 2 teaspoons baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons white vinegar 1 ½ tablespoon vanilla extract 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons oil 2 cups water

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease 2 – 9 inch round cake pans then dust with flour. Warm honey in 10 second intervals in microwave until it moves around bowl like a liquid (DO NOT let it boil) Add the flour, sugar, honey, baking soda, and salt to a large bowl. Add the water, oil, vinegar, and vanilla. Mix with a whisk until well-blended. Do not over beat. It will still turn out even if there are a few small lumps. Divide the batter between the 2 greased cake pans. Bake on a middle rack of oven for 35 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Let cool before frosting, dust with powdered sugar, or dive in while warm with a fork. Mmm, tasty!🐰🐥🐏🍰

Witches In The Midwest

🐝- This may sound weird to some, but could witches who live in the Midwest please repost this? I'd love to follow you all! I personally live in Illinois and don't know many witches in this area (aka I'm the only one I know of)!

🐝- If you don't live in the Midwest but have a witchy blog, go ahead and repost as well! I love following other witches in general!

Today I learned

As I promised, here is the second installment in my ‘Disney Themed Cocktails’ I worked hard to push these out in a few days for you guys, so I hope you enjoy them as much as the first batch. With that said, there were certain difficulties photographing Hades’ cocktail, as you can imagine since it needed to be dark enough to see the flame & drink at the same time. Please head on over to my Facebook page at Cocktails by Cody if you want to see more of what I’m doing.Thank you all for your support and exposure on my work. And now to begin the third part of this series of drinks! ( I do not own rights to Disney’s original characters, or the image of Jafar used. Please do not sue me, blah blah blah…..I DO however have full rights to these drinks, and the recipes themselves.)
