    There are several variations of this popular honey flavoured cake recipe which not only varies from india, but also overseas. in this recipe, i have tried to showcase the south indian variation especially sold on local bakery shops as slices. 

   

TIPS AND SUGGESTION:

    Firstly, I have used homemade strawberry jam for this, but you can use store-bought jams too. make sure the jam is fresh and has bright red colour to make it more attractive. moreover, you can also use other flavoured jams like apricot, raspberry or even mixed fruit jams. 

   Secondly, you can also add dry fruits to the cake batter to make it more nutty and flavourful. perhaps, walnuts, almonds, pistachios and tutti frutti should be a good option. 

   Lastly, you can easily store these cake slices for 4-5 days in airtight container. it should be fresh if you refrigerate it and heat it for 2-30 secs before serving. these slices of honey cake can be ideal for any occasions and can be an instant hit with kids.
