“Life is the flower for which love is the honey” –Victor Hugo

Anything that takes so much of hard work and dedication to make must be really sweet and fruitful. Honey is the result of the hard work done by swarm of bees before it travels to the supermarket and takes another journey to reach our homes.The use of honey is always a debated question which is recommended for weight loss as well as weight gain. Honey contains 64 calories per table spoon when compared to the refined white sugar which contains 48 calories but Honey gets all the attention due to its medicinal properties.Honey is a natural laxative and it helps in soothing stomach ulcers, it is a sweet antiseptic and heals wounds faster and it will clear your sore throats.

For all the efforts bees have taken to store honey we can throw away the guilty quotient before consuming this natural sweetener. Eventhough I like honey cake made with refined flour I have tried to make a eggless wheat honey cake and the baking takes a long time when compared to other cakes but worth a wait. I have used dried figs in the recipe which is source of potassium and calcium and it’s fibre content works as natural laxative.
