Ready In
- 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.
Footnotes
- Cook's Note:
- You may add 1/2 cup chopped dried apricots with the almonds and raisins, if desired.

It was my first honey cake ever and I was very impressed! I also glazed the sides of the cake too to make it extra moist!!

I also feel this cake is nothing special. A little bit dry. Didn't really enjoy much.

This was a great recipe! Our family had lost our old honey cake recipe in moving house, so it was a joy to find this one-- THANX! =)

Great honey cake. I added ground almonds and served with a milk syrup at Rosh Hashanah. Went over well and many requests for the recipe.
