Spiced Honey Cake
Cake: 2 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp nutmeg
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup honey
1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 tsp vanilla
zest of 1 orange
Glaze:
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 tbs honey
1 tbs milk or cream
1 tbs unsalted butter, melted
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground ginger
dash of salt
Pre-heat the oven to 350°. Butter a standard loaf pan and line it with a strip of parchment paper for easy removal of the bread after baking.
In a large bowl combine the eggs, sugar and honey. Using a stand or hand mixer, beat together until the sugar is dissolved. Add the butter, vanilla and orange zest and beat until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
Add the dry ingredients into the wet and mix just until combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for approximately 40 min or until a cake tester comes out clean.
Make the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, honey, milk, melted butter, cinnamon, ginger and salt. Drizzle over the warm cake. Serves 8
