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 350°.
Lightly grease a square 9x9x2-inch baking pan.
In a medium bowl, sift together the first 6 ingredients.
In a large bowl, with an electric hand mixer, beat butter, brown sugar and honey together until well blended. Beat in one egg at a time and mix well after each addition. Using low speed on mixer, mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, alternately with the yogurt, until batter is smooth, about 2 minutes. Gently fold in cherries.
Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake approximately, 40-45 minutes, or until tester in center of cake comes out clean. Remove from oven and place on wire rack to cool, about 5 minutes. Loosen edges with a knife. Invert pan over rack. Slightly shake cake to remove from pan. Allow to cool completely before serving. Sprinkle top with confectioner’s sugar. To serve, cut into 1-inch squares and top with low-fat frozen vanilla yogurt.
Yield: 9 squares.
