Honey Cake II Recipe

Ingredients

3/4 cup mild honey, such as acacia
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup canola oil
4 extra large eggs
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 cup strong black coffee
3/4 cup orange juice concentrate, undiluted

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 300° F. Grease two 9-inch loaf pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, honey, and oil. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing until fully combined.

Sift the dry ingredients together. In a separate bowl, dissolve the orange juice concentrate in the coffee. Alternate adding the dry ingredients and orange coffee to the honey mixture beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. The batter should be pale brown and smooth.

Pour the batter into the prepared pans and bake for 40-45 minutes or until golden and firm at the center. Cool and let rest for several hours to 2 days before slicing.
