Method:
Bring honey slowly to a boil, and cool. Cream the butter and sugar. Add egg yolks, beat until light and fluffy. Beat in honey. Sift flour with dry ingredients; add alternately with warm coffee. Make sure there is no egg yolks in the whites. Beat egg whites until stiff, and fold them into the batter. Bake in a greased and floured bundt pan at 325F for 50 minutes, then reduce heat to 300F, until toothpick comes out clean. Buckwheat honey is very strong. It takes a bit of getting used to if you are not. I prefer it to regular clover honey any day.
