Grandma Goldie’s Honey Cake
3 cups flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup sugar
16 ounce honey
16 ounce strong, brewed coffee (cooled)
1/2 cup oil
3 eggs, separated
Almonds and/or raisins are optional
My grandmother, Goldie, used to bake this cake for special family gatherings. She’s 99 years old now and I bake one for her every time I visit.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Blend all dry ingredients. Make a well in the center and mix in all wet ingredients except egg whites and beat well. Beat egg whites in separate container until stiff then fold into mixture. Pour into bundt pan (can be made as a loaf). Bake approximately one hour (center should be cooked but moist). Tip: The better the quality of honey the better the cake will taste!
