Ingredients
3 1/2 cups flour
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 1/8 cups sugar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 eggs

1 Granny Smith apple, sliced for topping
2 tablespoons GOLDEN BLOSSOM HONEY for apple topping
Honey Tips
Honey Never Spoils
No need to refrigerate it. It can be stored unopened, indefinitely, at room temperature in a dry cupboard.
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°. Grease a 10-inch tube pan.
Sift together the first 6 ingredients. Set aside.
With an electric mixer beat sugar, oil and eggs until combined. Add honey and beat until well blended. Add dry ingredients alternately with coffee, beating on low until combined. Stir in chopped apples by hand.
Pour batter into prepared pan. Toss sliced apples with honey so that they caramelize, then arrange slices on top of batter. Bake about 1 hour or until cake tests done. Let cool on rack 10 minutes. Carefully remove cake from pan and cool. This cake can be baked one day ahead. The flavors just improve.
Serves: 10-12
