Honey Cake

Ingredients

• 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 Tbsp baking powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt
• 4 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp ground cloves
• 1/2 tsp ground allspice
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 1 cup honey
• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 3 large eggs, at room temperature
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup coffee or strong tea
• 1/2 cup fresh orange juice
• 1/4 cup rum, scotch or whiskey

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a bundt or tube pan.

Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices together in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together oil, honey, sugars, eggs, vanilla, coffee or tea, orange juice, and booze until well-blended. Make a well in the dry ingredients, and pour in the wet ingredients. Stir or whisk until just combined – do not over-mix. Pour into the prepared pan, and bake until a tester comes out clean, and cake springs back when touched (about 60-75 minutes). Let cake cool in pan at least 15 minutes, and turn out onto a serving plate.
