My Honey Cake for Rosh Hashana

I was not sure if this year I will prepare a honey cake, so I rather left everything for the last hours before the Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year. As for the meals we were invited to friends in both days, the chances to use my recipe from the previous years was minimal. However, as usually happens, my friend where we were invited for the second evening had too much on her sleeves and asked to bring some honey cake. With only a couple of hours left, I tried to be as fast as possible, but also to bring something new to the table. I wanted something new, with a traditional twist, and spicy - but not cinnamon kind of spicy. 
So, here we go, for a recipe which can be easily done any time during the autumn winter months too, served with in the company of a big mug of chocolate or jasmin tea. Not too sweet, not too moist, aromated and fresh for almost 5 more days after baking - if you hide it well from hungry intruders.
