Honey Tips
Honey Is One of the Oldest Foods
Honey is one of the oldest foods in existence. It was found in the tomb of King Tut and was still edible since honey never spoils.
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°. In an electric mixer, blend first 4 ingredients. Add egg yolks and beat until smooth. In another bowl combine the next seven ingredients. Gradually, add this flour mixture to the batter, beating well. In a medium bowl, beat the egg whites with ¼ teaspoon salt and cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gently fold beaten egg whites and sliced almonds into the batter. Pour batter into a greased and floured 10" tube pan. Bake 1 hour or until done. Remove from oven, cool 20 minutes in pan. Loosen sides of cake from pan, if necessary and invert onto wire rack. Cool on rack.
