JEWISH HONEY CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.
• Place the eggs, lemon juice, lemon rind, oil, honey and coffee in a bowl of an electric mixer.
• Mix on low speed until well blended.
• In a separate bowl combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cream of tartar, sugar and cinnamon with a fork until mixed.
• Gradually add the flour mixture to the eggs mixture, mixing for about 5 minutes or until well blended.
• Fold in the slivered almonds.
• Pour the batter into the tube pan.
• Bake in the oven for 50 minutes to 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.

BOURBON HONEY CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Brush a 9-inch angel food cake pan with a nonremovable bottom with oil, line the bottom with parchment paper, then oil and flour the pan.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix the oil, granulated sugar, honey, brown sugar, eggs, orange zest and vanilla on medium speed for 1 minute. In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, cloves, allspice and ginger and blend. Combine the coffee, orange juice and bourbon in a 2-cup glass measuring cup. With the mixer on low, alternately add the flour and liquid mixtures to the oil-sugar mixture in thirds, beginning and ending with flour, until combined. Scrape down the bowl with a rubber spatula. Don't worry; the batter will be very liquid!
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Rap the pan 5 times on the counter to get rid of any bubbles in the batter. Sprinkle the top with the almonds. Bake in the center of the oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool completely, then remove from the pan and place almond-side up on a flat serving plate. Serve at room temperature.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and line the base and sides of a 20cm square baking tin. Warm the oil, golden syrup, honey and sugar in a small pan to dissolve the sugar. Stir to combine, then leave to cool. Add the tea and beaten eggs.
• Lightly whisk the flour, baking powder, spices and a pinch of salt in a large bowl to combine. Make a well in the dry ingredients and mix in the wet ingredients, using a whisk or wooden spoon, until combined and lump-free.
• Pour the batter into the lined tin and sprinkle with the almonds, if you like. Bake for 50-55 mins, until the cake springs back when gently pressed and a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean. Don't open the oven for the first 45 mins of baking.
• Leave to cool completely in the tin on a wire rack. Wrap well and keep for three to four days before eating, so the flavour can improve. Cut into nine squares to serve.
