A delightful spiced honey bundt cake, perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even baking from the start.
Grease a 12-cup bundt pan thoroughly with butter or non-stick spray.
Ensure all crevices are coated to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, and clove. Stir well to distribute the spices evenly.
Sifting the dry ingredients can help avoid lumps.
In another bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Add the honey, sugar, coffee, and water, whisking until smooth.
Ensure the honey is fully dissolved for even sweetness.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Stir until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
Overmixing can lead to a dense cake.
Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, spreading it evenly.
Tap the pan gently on the counter to release air bubbles.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Check the cake a few minutes early to avoid overbaking.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
Cooling in the pan helps the cake set and prevents breaking.
Slice and serve the cake as is, or with a dusting of powdered sugar for presentation.
A dollop of whipped cream can enhance the presentation.
