ORANGE-SPICED RYE HONEY CAKE



Orange-Spiced Rye Honey Cake image

Honey cake emerges from its hibernation around the High Holidays in the fall, when honey and other sweet foods are eaten to usher in a sweet new year. But as much as this is an early fall cake for the holidays, its warming spices make it a perfect winter cake that works both for dessert and in the morning with a cup of coffee.

Yield Makes 1 (9x5-inch) loaf / Serves 10-12

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 cups vegetable oil, plus more for greasing the pan
3 large eggs
1 cup sugar
1 cup pure honey
3/4 cup lukewarm coffee (brewed and cooled slightly)
1 teaspoon packed orange zest
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup rye flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Generously grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with oil.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the 1 1/2 cups of oil, the eggs, sugar, honey, coffee, and orange zest. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves.
  • Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the egg mixture, then stir with a fork or a whisk until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50 to 55 minutes, until set in the middle-the cake should hold firm when lightly pressed on top. Be careful not to leave it in the oven for too long or it will dry out.
  • Let the cake cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes-1 hour for a Bundt cake (see note)-before very carefully inverting it and removing the pan. Slice and serve with fresh fruit and tea.
