Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 16 servings Cake: 3 ½ cups sifted all-purpose flour ¼ teaspoon salt 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 1 ½ teaspoons ground allspice 4 eggs ¾ cup white sugar 4 tablespoons vegetable oil 2 cups honey ½ cup strong brewed coffee ½ cup blanched slivered almonds ½ cup raisins 2 tablespoons slivered almonds for topping Glaze (Optional): 1 ½ cups honey 2 tablespoons lemon juice ½ cup water ½ teaspoon lemon zest Directions Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Oil two loaf pans and line bottoms with parchment paper; grease the parchment as well. Sift together the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and allspice. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, gradually adding the sugar. Beat until thick and light in color, about 5 minutes. Beat in the oil, honey and coffee. Stir flour mixture into egg mixture. Chop the almonds coarsely and mix with raisins; stir into batter. Divide batter between the two prepared loaf pans. Sprinkle with reserved slivered almonds. Bake in preheated oven until a tester inserted in the center of each cake comes out clean, 65 to 75 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes and remove from pan. To Make Glaze: combine 1 1/2 cups honey, lemon juice, lemon zest and water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. When glaze reaches a thick consistency, remove from heat and drizzle over warm cake. Cook's Note: You may add 1/2 cup chopped dried apricots with the almonds and raisins, if desired.
