16 servings

  • 3.5 cups sifted all-purpose flour
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1.5 teaspoons ground allspice
  • 4 eggs
  • 0.75 cup white sugar
  • 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 cups honey
  • 0.5 cup strong brewed coffee
  • 0.5 cup blanched slivered almonds
  • 0.5 cup raisins
  • 2 tablespoons slivered almonds for topping
  • 1.5 cups honey
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 0.5 cup water
  • 0.5 teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Oil two loaf pans and line bottoms with parchment paper; grease the parchment as well.
  • Sift together the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and allspice. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, gradually adding the sugar. Beat until thick and light in color, about 5 minutes. Beat in the oil, honey and coffee. Stir flour mixture into egg mixture. Chop the almonds coarsely and mix with raisins; stir into batter.
  • Divide batter between the two prepared loaf pans. Sprinkle with reserved slivered almonds.
  • Bake in preheated oven until a tester inserted in the center of each cake comes out clean, 65 to 75 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes and remove from pan.
  • To Make Glaze: combine 1 1/2 cups honey, lemon juice, lemon zest and water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. When glaze reaches a thick consistency, remove from heat and drizzle over warm cake.
