Ingredients

For the Batter

2 cups all-purpose flour Essential for structure; you can use whole wheat flour for a heartier texture.
1.5 teaspoons baking powder Helps the cake rise to perfection; ensure it's fresh for the best results.
1 teaspoon baking soda Works with the acidity in honey and yogurt to create a light crumb.
0.25 teaspoon salt Enhances the flavors, balancing the sweetness of the honey.
0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon Adds warmth and a familiar comfort to every bite.
0.25 teaspoon ground cardamom A fragrant spice that elevates the cake's flavor profile beautifully.
0.25 teaspoon ground cloves Infuses a hint of deep, rich warmth to the mix.
0.25 teaspoon ground ginger Brings a gentle spice that pairs splendidly with honey’s sweetness.
2 large eggs Bind the ingredients while adding moisture; use flax eggs for a vegan version.
1 cup neutral oil Keeps the cake moist; feel free to substitute with melted coconut oil if desired.
1 cup honey The star of our Spiced Honey Cake, adding natural sweetness and depth.
10 tablespoons full-fat Greek yogurt Contributes to the cake’s wetness and adds a slight tang.
1 teaspoon orange zest Brightens the flavors with a refreshing citrus note.

Method

How to Make Spiced Honey Cake

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure a perfectly baked cake.
In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices. Stir well.
In another bowl, whisk together eggs, oil, honey, yogurt, and orange zest until smoothly combined.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined.
Pour the batter into a prepared bundt pan, smoothing the top for an even bake.
Bake for 55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Once cooled, finish with your choice of glaze.
