Recipe type/ Τύπος Πιάτου: Sweet
Ingredients/ Συστατικά
  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp ground cloves
  • ½ tsp ground all spice
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup honey
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup tea (the recipe called for strong coffee, but I prefer to use tea)
  • ½ cup fresh orange juice (you can use canned if you cannot find fresh)
  • The recipe called for ¼ cup whiskey but I completely omitted that and there was no problem with the recipe.
Instructions/ Εκτέλεση
  1. Preheat oven to 175° C/350° F.
  2. Take a round pan with diameter 29cm/11in butter it and flour it.
  3. In your mixer add all the dry ingredients and then pour all the wet ingredients. Start mixing at low speed and then increase it to medium and continue to mix until everything is incorporated.
  4. Pour the batter to the pan and bake for about 60 to 75 minutes. To my oven took about 70 minutes to bake it. Remove from the oven, let it stand and then remove it from the pan. I dusted some caster sugar on top; you can decorate it any way you like!
