This Marmalade 'n Spice Honey Cake recipe is a traditional Jewish dessert that is often served during Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. The cake is said to symbolize hope for a sweet and prosperous new year. The addition of orange marmalade is meant to represent the sweetness of life, while the honey symbolizes the hope for a sweet year ahead. The cake is also commonly served during Passover, as it does not contain any leavening agents. However, it is a delicious and aromatic dessert that can be enjoyed year-round for any occasion.
