Honey Tips
How Honey is Made
To make honey, bees drop the collected nectar into the honeycomb and then evaporate it by fanning their wings.
Directions
Preheat oven to 325°. Coat a 9 inch round cake pan with non-stick cooking spray and dust with flour. In a small bowl, combine pecans and dates with 2 tablespoons flour. In another bowl, beat together eggs, honey, buttermilk and vanilla. Stir in mashed bananas. Mix remaining dry ingredients in a large bowl. Add butter and egg mixture and beat with an electric mixer until blended, about 2 minutes. Gently stir in pecan-date mixture. Pour batter into pan. Cook about one hour, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes. Turn onto cake rack. Cool completely. Serves: 10.
