Loving raisin cakes isn't a separate type of immoral behavior; it is an example of “turning to other gods”.

Sour cream is one of the fattiest dairy products; the extra fat content (for example, adding sour cream to a cake instead of milk) will make the cake moister and richer, says Wilk. "Fat, in any form (butter, lard, cream, etc.) shortens gluten strands, which essentially leads to the most tender baked goods," she adds.

Can I use both butter and oil in cake? ›

A blend of these two ingredients gives the cake the best possible flavor and texture. Butter provides flavor while oil adds moisture and keeps it from being too dry.

Since they are tastier at room temperature we suggest you leave them on the counter in a closed glass jar. They should last over 90 days on the counter and many more months in the refrigerator. If you try to freeze them… well, they just won't. You'll just crystalize the honey.
