Recipe: This orange blossom honey cake starts Rosh Hashanah on a sweet note
— are just some of the foods that grace the holiday table. And a typical greeting may include, “L’shanah tovah tikatevu v’tichatemu,” which means “May you be inscribed and sealed [in the Book of Life] for a good year.”
This year, I wanted to do something new but still feature a traditional ingredient. I found inspiration in the delightfully charming new cookbook “” by Aleksandra Crapanzano. The book, featuring beguiling illustrations in lieu of photographs, is an exploration of French home cooks’ baking repertoire. In her introduction, Crapanzano notes that while the French bake a great deal, the recipes are unfussy and far simpler than we might think.
The cake was unfussy and easy to throw together, and was as delicious and subtle as promised. A tasty dessert that can be accurately classified as an “easy lift” is something a harried cook who is busy preparing a holiday feast will always be grateful for.
While the cake is delightful on its own, it’s even better with a dollop of tangy crème fraîche, which Crapanzano recommends. After a rich and filling Rosh Hashanah meal, bites of this fragrant cake are a delightful and symbolic way to end the meal as we wish for a sweet new year for ourselves and our loved ones.
