Stacey says: "I didn’t set out to create an alternative to honey cake, but I was having a play in the kitchen and created these sweet and spicy slices that are soft and gooey and reminded me of the honey cake I ate growing up, but with no added sugar or honey in sight. There are some natural sugars in the ingredients, but very little. They’ll certainly be on the menu for our family this Rosh Hashanah."
