Time of preparation: 1 hour
Dough:
3 cups of flour
1 cup of honey
1 cup of sugar
1 cup of milk
2 tbspoons of butter at room temperature
2 eggs
1 tbspoon of baking soda
1 tspoon of ground nutmeg
1 tspoon of ground cloves
1 tbspoon of ground cinnamon
butter and flour to cover the baking tray
Cover
300g of cooking chocolate
3 tbspoons of butter
Line a rectangular baking tray with butter and flour. Pre-heat the oven (medium: 180 degrees)
In a big mixing bowl add the sugar, honey, butter and eggs. Mix it very well (preferably with a mixer). Repeatedly add one cup of flour and 1/3 of the milk, always mixing. After the last cup, stop mixing. Add the baking soda and the spices and mix them delicately.
Put the cake mixture into the baking tray. Bake it for 15min in a medium oven and then lower the heat as much as possible and bake it for some 20-40 min more (depending on the oven). To make sure it is done, stab it with a toothpick or a fork. If it comes out clean, it is done. Let it cool down and turn it out onto a plate. Cover the cake with the chocolate cover.
Cover:
Put water in a pan and heat it. When it boils lower the heat. Put the broken up chocolate into a glass bowl and put the bowl in the water. Add 3 spoons of butter. Mix the chocolate with the butter untill completely dissolved (around 4 minutes). When melted, spread over the cake with the help of a round edge knife.
If you want it in little cubes (my favourite way), cut the cake, and use 2 times the amount of ingredients for the cover. Stab each cube with a toothpick and dunk it into the chocolate (fondue style).
Let it cool on top of grease proof paper or aluminum foil lined with butter
