1. | Preheat oven to 325˚F (160˚C). Grease and flour 2 – 8” (2L) square cake pans. Alternatively, pour into circular pans for a different look. |
2. | In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking soda, salt and cinnamon; set aside. |
3. | Beat together honey, oil, eggs and vanilla until well blended. Add this mixture to the dry ingredients and beat until smooth. |
4. | Stir in apples, walnuts and cranberries. Spread evenly in the 2 cake pans. |
5. | Bake for 55 – 60 minutes or until done. Cool on wire racks. |
6. | To Decorate: For a simple finish, place paper doily on each cake and sprinkle with icing sugar. Or use a sieve and lightly shake icing sugar on top. |
7. | Alternatively, prepare your favourite cream cheese icing and spread on one of the cakes. With red decorator icing or slightly warmed raspberry jam, pipe stripes on the cake. Run the tip of a knife across the stripes. Easy and very attractive! |
