Method
Prepare the batter
Pre-heat the oven to
Gas Mark 5.
Line and grease a large (22cm) cake tin.
Mix the flour, sugar, spices, baking powder and sodium bicarbonate in a large bowl.
Melt the margarine over a gentle heat in a saucepan and stir in the honey.
Beat the eggs in a cup and add to the margarine / honey mixture.
Allow the mixture to cool a little (5 mins).
Make a "well" in the flour and gradually beat in the margarine.
Keep whisking until a smooth mixture is achieved, use a food mixer if you wish to.
Pour the batter into the lined tin.
Cooking
Bake in the middle of the oven for 75 minutes.
To serve
Allow to cool before slicing.
Variations
Add the juice of a lemon to the batter before mixing, for a sharper flavour.
Try this cake with the different honeys from Traidcraft, Equal Exchange, and Tropical Forest.
