Serving tips
Parsnip and honey cake is perfect for a picnic and is best enjoyed with a steaming hot cup of tea or a glass of milk. It doesn’t need icing, but sometimes we eat it warm with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream! Why not try it with our homemade Honey Ice cream for a real treat!
Wildflower honey is easiest to use for this recipe, but other honeys can be used also. If the honey has crystallised, you may need to heat it a bit to get it runny so that it can mix well with the other ingredients. Try our Raw Irish wildflower honey for this delicious recipe.
