Dark Rye and Honey Cake cookbook review - The Caterer

Trine Hahnemann is a Danish baker and food writer after my own heart.

C&M Travel Recruitment Ltd: Global Implementation Manager Hahnemann tells me that this cake was first served in Southern Jutland after the war in 1864, as part of a sønderjysk kaffebord, or a traditional cake table. Danish people were not allowed to join political meetings in liquor taverns, instead meeting in special assembly houses. Women would bring cake for people to enjoy but also to show their political will and presence at these important meetings (before women were allowed to vote).
