love the recipe, came out really good
hi
we made this honey cake, and it rose and overflowed all over the oven
you’ve no idea!
but after some salvaging, the cake came out amazing!
Sorry for the mess, glad it came out so good in the end. It’s a tradition in our family!
I had the same problem with it overflowing everywhere. It made a big mess in my oven. It’s inedible.
We’re very sorry this happened to you. It has not been our experience, but to be safe, we have updated the recipe to suggest placing the pan on a cookie sheet.
I also had the same problem with this recipe overflowing, and the result was inedible. All the ingredients filled a standard loaf pan to the brim before it went into the oven. Should the recipe have instructed bakers to pour the recipe into two loaf pans?
We are so sorry not everyone is having a great result. We recommed filling your baking dish – or whatever you are using – only 3/4 full to avoid overflowing and burning. This may necessitate using 2 loaf pans.
