Spiced Honey Cake with Orange Glaze
Ingredients
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup honey
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup cold brewed coffee
  • 1 apple - peeled, cored and shredded
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 2/3 cup white sugar
  • 1/3 cup orange juice
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius).
2
To prepare the baking dish, lightly coat it with a layer of non-stick cooking spray.
3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cloves, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Mix these dry ingredients thoroughly until they are well combined.
4
In a separate mixing vessel, blend the vegetable oil, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and honey until smooth. Gradually add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure they are fully incorporated.
5
Mix the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients, alternating with the coffee in several stages to achieve a balanced consistency. If desired, add shredded apple to the mixture for added flavor.
6
Transfer the cake batter into the prepared baking dish, and sprinkle a layer of chopped walnuts over the top.
7
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for approximately 1 hour, or until it springs back when gently pressed with your finger.
8
Allow the cake to cool for about 15 minutes, or until it reaches a warm temperature.
9
Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Whisk in 2/3 cup of granulated sugar and orange juice until the sugar is fully dissolved. Bring the mixture to a boil, then remove from heat and whisk constantly.
10
Pour the warm glaze over the cake, allowing it to set before serving.
