Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup vegetable oil

  • 1 cup honey
  • 1 cup strong brewed coffee or tea, cooled
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil and granulated sugar until combined.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the honey and cooled coffee or tea.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For an extra moist cake, you can brush the warm cake with a simple syrup made from equal parts honey and water.
  • Add chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter for added texture.
  • This cake pairs well with a cup of tea or coffee.
