Honey Tips
How Honey Is Created
Honey is created when bees mix plant nectar, a sweet substance secreted by flowers, with their own bee enzymes.
Directions
Preheat oven to 325°. Grease and flour a 12-cup bundt pan.
Using an electric mixer beat butter on high 30 seconds. Add sugar and honey. Beat for 3 minutes on high until mixture is light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add orange zest, juice and almond extract. Beat to combine.
Sift together cake flour and baking powder. Using a low speed, gradually add flour mixture to batter. Mix until just combined. Stir in fresh rosemary.
Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake 35-40 minutes or until cake tests done. Cool on rack 10 minutes. Remove cake from pan and place on rack to cool completely.
Glaze:
In a small bowl mix together glaze ingredients until smooth. Drizzle over cooled cake.
