Honey Tips

Honey Bees Need Water

To keep their hives strong, beekeepers must place them in locations that will provide abundant nectar sources as well as water.

Directions

Directions for crumb topping:
Place all ingredients in food processor. Pulse until mixture is well combined. Set aside.
Directions for cake:
Preheat oven to 350°.
In a bowl, cream butter, brown sugar and honey until fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla. Beat until well combined.
Stir together dry ingredients. Add to butter mixture alternately with the sour cream. Do not overbeat.
Pour half the batter into a 9-inch greased and floured cake pan. Sprinkle with half the crumb mixture. Spread remaining batter evenly over crumb mixture. Sprinkle with remaining crumbs. Bake 25 to 30 minutes, or until cake tests done.
