Preparation
- To make the cake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9-by-13-inch cake pan and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and salt. Stir in the shredded apples. In a medium-size bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted margarine, honey, molasses and warm water. Pour over the dry ingredients and stir just until combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Place on a rack to cool.
- To make the sauce, place the honey and the rum in a small saucepan over low heat. Heat just until the mixture is hot and the honey has a thin consistency. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice.
- Cut the cake, either warm or at room temperature, into squares and place on plates. Spoon some of the sauce over and around the cake and serve immediately.
