Frequently Asked Questions
Can I substitute the sugar with a different sweetener?
Yes, you can substitute sugar with alternatives like honey or maple syrup, but keep in mind that liquid sweeteners may change the texture, so reduce the milk slightly if you use them.
How should I store the Honey and Raisin Cake?
Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate it for about a week or freeze it for up to 3 months.
What should I do if my cake doesn't rise properly?
If the cake doesn't rise well, check that your baking powder is fresh and you properly incorporated air into the batter while beating the ingredients. Also, avoid opening the oven door before the cake has set.
