⅔ cup butter
½ cup soft light brown sugar
¾ cup honey
1 ¾ cups self raising flour
½ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon caraway seed
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
2 eggs, beaten
3 cups icing sugar

1
Preheat the oven to 180C or 350F, and grease the chosen tin.

Put butter, sugar, honey and 1 tbsp water into a saucepan and heat gently til melted and dissolved.
3
Remove from heat and cool well - about 10 minutes.
4
Sift flour into a bowl and mix in the spices.
5
Make a well in the centre and pour in the honey mix and eggs and beat until smooth.
6
Pour into prepared tin and bake 40-50 minutes or until done.
7
Make the icing by sifting the icing sugar into a bowl, stirring in enough water to make a flowing consistency and spoon it over the cooled cake.
8
I used lemon juice instead of water in the icing - but that's just because I use any excuse to get citrus into foods!
9
I think you could get as creative as you want with the icing.
