1 c Honey (Buckwheat honey is

1/2 c Of butter
1 c Brown sugar
4 Eggs separated
3 c Sifted flour
2 ts Baking soda
1/2 ts Baking powder
1 ts Cinnamon
1/4 ts Salt
1 c Sour cream

Bring the honey to a boil and cool. Cream the butter and sugar, add the egg
yolks, one at a time. Beat until fluffy, then beat in the honey.
Sift flour with dry ingredients, add in alternately with sour cream, and
stir in nuts.
Beat egg whites until stiff and fold into batter. Bake in a tube pan (or a

to 300?F (150?C) in final stages of baking to prevent honey from burning.
