“НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ”, ЛЮТИЙ 2009 34 SWEET STUFF Since Valentine’s Day comes in February, we decided a “honey” recipe might be in order. This one comes from the kitchen of Eugenia Balaban and is part of the Favorite Recipes of Houston collection, which was one of two cookbooks featured in the October-November 2008 issue of Our Life. Honey Cake Медовийторт Ingredients for cake layers: 3 eggs, 3 tbsp honey, 3 eggs, 1 cup sugar (white or brown), 1 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp chopped walnuts, 2 cups sifted flour Ingredients for cream: 16 oz. sour cream, 1 cup sugar, vanilla Mix ingredients for cake layers. Grease three 10” cake forms and dust with flour. Pour batter into forms. Bake at 375º F for 25 to 30 minutes. Mix ingredients for cream. Beat well. Spread cream between cake layers. Chill for a couple of hours before serving. Helpful Hint: To keep cake plate clean while frosting, slide 6-inch strips of waxed paper under each side of the cake. Once frosting sets, pull the strips away, leaving a clean plate. Oops. The authors of this bilingual cookbook have informed us that we did not include a snail mail address for queries or orders. These should be sent to UNWLA, Inc., Branch 118, c/o Marta Noukas, 803 Tiber Street, Houston, TX 77024. The cost of the cookbook is $17.50 (includes $2.50 for shipping), check payable to UNWLA Branch 118. All proceeds will be used to support the UNWLA Scholarship Program. Orders may also be placed by phone (713-973-8848) or by email: mnoukas@aol.com. ______________________________________________________________ FUN FACTS ABOUT HONEY In the Roman Empire, honey was used instead of gold to pay taxes. In some parts of Greece, it was the custom for a bride to dip her fingers in honey and make the sign of the cross before entering her new home. Ancient Egyptians used honey for embalming the dead. After his death in battle, the head of Vlad III (better known as Dracula) was cut off and presented to the Ottoman Sultan, preserved in a jar of honey. The art and literature of many Western cultures depicts bears as honey eaters. It is probably for this reason that honey is often sold in bear-shaped containers. In some Slavic languages the word for 'bear” (like the Ukrainian medvid) is coined from the word for honey. In the United States and most other English-sp eaking countries, "Honey” is a common term of endearment. (Condensed and adapted from an extensive discussion of honey in Wikipedia) Call for recipes. Cooks and bakers are cordially invited to share their favorite recipes and culinary tips with other readers. Please forward to the editor c/o UNWLA headquarters.
