You will need:
-Nordic Ware Beehive Cake Pan
-For DAIRY option (which I used) :
Krusteaz Cinnamon Swirl Cake Mix
-For PAREVE option:
Manischewitz Apple Crumb Cake Mix
-Spray oil for coating the pan
-For toppings – pomegranate seeds, figs, sliced apples and mint (spray roses for garnish)
Pomegranate Glaze Recipe:
-2 tablespoons pomegranate juice, or 1 tablespoon pomegranate molasses
-1 cup powdered sugar
-1 teaspoon lime juice
-1 teaspoon rose water
Directions:
1. Prepare the cake as directed.
2. While the cake is cooling in the pan, begin preparing the pomegranate glaze. (This is optional, but adds a beautiful pop of color). Mix all of the glaze ingredients together in a bowl until smooth. If it’s too watery, add more sugar. If too thick, add more pomegranate juice.
3. Take the two beehive slices and put them together upright, leaving it a bit of an opening to add in fruits and garnishes in the center.
4. Pour the glaze on top of the cake and decorate as desired.
