Orange-Honey Cake
June 14, 2007 by top8free
This has become our birthday celebration cake. It is moist with a hint of flowery honey, without being overpoweringly sweet. It makes enough for two 9-inch round cake layers.
3 cups white spelt flour
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ cup canola oil
2/3 cup honey
½ cup orange juice
1/3 cup water
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease two 9-inch cake pans. Mix flour, salt, and baking soda together in a large bowl. In a smaller bowl, whisk together oil, honey, orange juice and honey. Gently mix wet and dry ingredients together. Pour into cake pans and bake for 25 – 30 minutes, until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool for 10 minutes on wire rack, then turn over and gently tap on the bottom of the cake pans to loosen cake from pan. Cool completely before frosting.
