Lekach or Jewish honey cake in English is a honey-sweetened cake. It is one of the symbolically significant foods traditionally eaten by Ashkenazi Jews at the Jewish holiday of Rosh Hashanah in hopes of ensuring a sweet New Year.Recipes vary widely. Lekach is usually a dense loaf-shaped cake but some versions are similar to sponge cake or pound cake with the addition of honey and spices sometimes with coffee or tea for coloring.
