Free Course: Bolo de mel rápido (Portuguese honey and molasses cake)

Bolo de mel is Madeira’s most famous honey cake made with sugar cane honey or molasses. Dating back to the 16th century, it is traditionally a yeasted cake which can take over three days to make. This is a rapid version which was taught to me by Senhora Anabela of Funchal, Madeira. The cake is equally as delicious as the original just lacking some of the dense chewy texture only the yeasted version can produce.
