Several folks may have answered your question adequately, but perhaps 
this file in the FOOD section might have some more on techniques and 
such which might be helpful to you:

Are you specifically looking for recipes for honey-spice cakes? Or are 
you looking for period cake recipes in general? There are numerous 
files on cakes and pastries in the FOOD-SWEETS section of the 
Florilegium such as:
