Honey Tips

Honey Is Sweeter Than Sugar

Due to the high level of fructose, honey is 25% sweeter than table sugar.

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. Grease and flour a 12-cup bundt pan.
In a large bowl mix together dry ingredients. Add remaining ingredients except almonds, and beat on a low speed with an electric mixer until well blended.
Sprinkle almonds in the bottom of the prepared pan. Carefully pour batter on top of almonds and bake in the center of oven for 1 hour or until cake tests done. Place on a rack to cool for 15 minutes. Remove cake from pan by inverting onto a wire rack to finish cooling. The almonds will now be on top of the cake.
