Number Of Ingredients 16

Butter, for greasing pan
2 3/4 cups flour, plus more for pan
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons ground allspice
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup sugar
6 eggs, separated
1 cup canola oil
1 cup honey
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
2 tablespoons orange zest
2 tablespoons Grand Marnier
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325°F. Grease and flour a 4-quart Bundt pan; set aside. Whisk together flour, cinnamon, allspice, ginger, baking powder and soda, and salt in a bowl; set aside. Beat 3/4 cup sugar and egg yolks in a bowl on medium-high speed of a mixer until tripled in volume, about 4 minutes. Stir in oil, honey, 2 tbsp. juice, zest, and Grand Marnier. Add dry ingredients; stir until just combined. Beat egg whites in a bowl on high speed of a mixer until soft peaks form. Add remaining sugar; beat until stiff peaks form. Fold whites into batter. Pour into prepared pan; smooth top. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the middle of cake comes out clean, about 60 minutes. Let cool and invert onto a serving plate. Whisk remaining juice with confectioners' sugar; drizzle over cake.
