Honey Cake
Similar to a coffee cake, this Honey Cake is lightly sweetened and very moist, with hints of orange and honey flavors.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup honey slightly warmed
- 2/3 cup orange juice
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs separated
- 1 tbsp orange zest
- 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour sifted
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- pinch salt
- 1/3 cup sliced almonds optional
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Line the bottom of a round 9-inch cake pan with parchment paper. Grease the pan and parchment with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the honey, orange juice, oil, egg yolks, and orange zest.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the egg whites until soft peaks form.
- Add the dry ingredients slowly to the honey/egg mixture and mix until just combined, being careful to not over-mix. Gently fold in the egg whites.
- Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 min or until golden brown and a cake tester comes out clean. Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then gently turn out the cake and continue cooling on a wire rack.
- Serve with sliced almonds, powdered sugar, and additional drizzles of honey on each slice. You can also serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
