Ingredients

  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 3 cups Sifted Flour
  • 1-1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1-1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon Allspice
  • 1 teaspoon Clove
  • 1 teaspoon Nutmeg
  • 1 cup Honey
  • 3/4 cups Oil
  • 1 cup Strong Coffee, Cooled
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • 3 whole Eggs
  • 1/2 cups Raisins (optional)
  • 1/2 cups Walnuts (optional)

Method

  • Lightly butter 1 tube pan or 2-3 loaf pans, depending on their size. ( I use loaf pans - they're great to wrap nicely and give as a gift.)
  • Preheat oven to 350F.
  • Sift all dry ingredients into a large bowl. Make a well and add all liquid ingredients. Mix together and add raisins and nuts, if using.
  • Bake at 350F for 45-60 minutes (less for the loaf pans). They're done when a toothpick comes out clean.
