Honey Flavors and Colors

Honey has different flavors and colors, depending on the location and kinds of flowers the bees visit. Climatic conditions of the area also influence its flavor and color.

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. Spray a 12-cup bundt pan with non-stick baking spray or generously butter pan.
Beat together eggs. Add sugar and beat one minute. Add oil, coffee, honey, orange juice, orange zest and lemon juice. Beat one minute.
Sift together remaining ingredients. Add to wet ingredients and beat until just combined. Pour into prepared pan and bake for 50 minutes or until cake tests done.
Remove to a rack and let cool 15 minutes. Turn out onto a plate to finish cooling. Wrap tightly and let sit 24-48 hours before serving.
