1 1/2 C. honey
1 T. almond extract
1/4 C. very strong coffee
1/4 C. vegetable oil
2 eggs
2 1/2 C. flour
2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
3/4 tsp. cinnamon
3/4 tsp. allspice
1/4 tsp. salt
2 C. peeled, chopped Granny Smith apples
1/2 C. raisins
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Grease and flour a 9 X 5 X 3 inch loaf pan. Stir together honey and
almond extract. Set aside 1/2 C. of the mixture.
Combine remaining honey mixture with coffee, oil and eggs; whisk until
well blended. In a separate bowl, mix together flour, baking powder,
baking soda, cinnamon, allspice and salt. Stir into wet ingredients
until flour is thoroughly incorporated. Add chopped apple and raisins,
stirring just until moistened. Pour into prepared pan and bake 55 - 60
minutes, or until toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Tent with foil halfway through baking if necessary to prevent
over-browning. Spread warm slices of cake with butter and drizzle with
remaining honey mixture. Makes 10 servings.
