Cake & Cookie Recipes > Honey and Oatcake

How to make honey and oat cake:
This recipe is a really interesting twist on the traditional rough oatcake. Oatcakes are usually small biscuits which are savoury, being seasoned, like all good porridge, with a little salt. This oatcake recipe however is a large cake sweetened with honey making it more of a sweet yet substantial cut and come again cake. The advice is to eat slices of it spread with butter making them far more decadant than their highland counterpart was ever intended to be!
