Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ½ teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup of honey
  • 1 ½ cups white sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup coffee
  • ¾ cup orange juice

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F or 176 C. Prepare an angel food cake pan by lightly using cooking spray and dusting with flour. Remove excess flour.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices.
  3. Add the oil, honey, sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla, coffee, and orange juice to the dry ingredients.
  4. Mix until all of the wet ingredients are combined with the dry ones but do not over mix.
  5. Transfer the honey cake batter to the prepared pan.
  6. Bake for 60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean after you insert it in the middle.
  7. Allow the cake to rest in the baking pan for 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edge of the pan and then invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.
