Yield 14 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup honey, a light honey
1 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup orange marmalade
4 eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1 cup tea, brewed (just warm)
1/3 cup almonds, slivered
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 orange, zest of, shredded

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F & grease ONLY the bottom of a 10-inch tube pan, then line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, combine oil, honey, both sugars & marmalade, blending well, then add the eggs.
  • In a larger bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, cloves & allspice, then make a well in the center of this flour mixture & add the wet ingredients AND the brewed tea. Blend well, either by hand or with an electric mixer on slow speed, making a smooth loose batter.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan, then sprinkle the top with the almonds.
  • Place the pan of batter on TWO stacked baking sheets (to prevent bottom from browning too fast) & bake 55-60 minutes or until the top of the cake springs back when pressed lightly with a fingertip.
  • Cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then remove & let cool on a wire rack.
  • Before serving, dust with powdered sugar & sprinkle with a bit of shredded orange zest.
