Ingredients
Honey Cakes
- 1 egg, well beaten
- 3/4 cup Imperial Sugar Extra Fine Granulated Sugar
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour*
- 2 teaspoons baking powder

- 3/4 teaspoon salt
Honey Coating
- 1/2 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons Imperial Sugar Light Brown Sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
