If you'd like a spicier cake, add 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon and 1 teaspoon of ground cloves as well. This cake is a little different because it's cooked in a rectangular baking dish rather than the usual loaf or bundt pan. 4 cups flour 2 t. baking powder 2 t. allspice 1/2 t. ground ginger 3 large eggs 1 cup sugar _ 1 lb. (2 cups) honey 1/2 cup vegetable oil 1 cup cold black coffee Juice and grated peel or zest of 1 lemon Grated peel or zest of 1/2 orange 3/4 cap coarsely chopped walnuts Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly grease or spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Sift together the flour, baking powder, allspice and ginger (and additional spices, if Set aside. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the eggs and sugar until thick. Beat in the honey and oil. Mix in the sifted dry ingredients alternately with cold coffee. Beat in the juice, grated peels and nuts until just combined. Transfer the mixture to the pre- pared pan and bake for 1 hour or until the cake springs back when touched. If the cake gets too dark, vou may have to reduce the heat to 325F. for the last 10 minutes of bak- ing. Cool the cake and cut into squares, whatever size preferred. Sprinkle with a little powdered sugar before serving. Makes 20 servings. ❑
