Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 170C or 345F.
Step 2
We will need three bowls for this recipe. Let's start with the first one- Mix together the honey, hot water (half of the total water (180 ml)), and baking soda. Once the honey is dissolved, add the rest of the water. This is our honey mixture.

370 gr organic raw honey (local if you can)
5 gr baking soda
Step 3
In another bowl- mix the flour, baking powder, salt, and spices. If you want your cake to be darker in color- add a tablespoon of cocoa powder. This is our flour mixture.

7 gr baking powder
5 gr salt
20 g spices, I used here a blend of honey saffron lemon and coffee clove cinnamon, but you can replace it with cinnamon or baharat
Step 4
In the third bowl- beat the eggs and the brown sugar.
200 gr brown sugar
3 free range eggs
Step 5
Then add the oil and whisk well. This is our egg mixture.
200 ml canola oil
Step 6
Add half of the flour mixture into the egg mixture, mix well until incorporated. Don't mix too much because we don't want to develop gluten too much.
Step 7
Add all the honey mixture in and mix well.
Step 8
Add the rest of the flour mixture.
Step 9
Spray the cake pan with oil.
Step 10
Pour the batter into the cake pan, 3/4 of the height. Always better to pour less batter than more and then it's getting messy all over the oven.
Step 11
Bake for 45 min. Perform the toothpick test to check if ready (insert the toothpick in the center of the cake, if it comes out with moist crumbs on it- it's ready!).
Step 12
Let the cake cool down 10 min before removing it from the pan.
Step 13
Brush with honey, spread the sliced almonds, and sprinkle powdered sugar on top.
