Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour 190 g
  • 1 tsp baking powder 5 g
  • 1 tsp baking soda 5 g
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon 3 g
  • ½ tsp ground ginger 2 g
  • ¼ tsp ground cloves 1 g
  • 1/8 tsp salt 0.5 g
  • ½ cup honey 170 g
  • ¾ cup sugar 150 g
  • 2 large eggs about 120 g
  • ½ cup vegetable oil 120 g
  • ½ cup strong brewed coffee 120 ml
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract 5 ml
  • ½ cup sour cream 120 g

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Dry Ingredients: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch round or loaf pan. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt, whisking them together until fully blended.
  • Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the honey, sugar, eggs, and vegetable oil. Beat with a whisk or mixer until smooth and well incorporated.
  • Combine Coffee and Vanilla: Stir the brewed coffee and vanilla extract into the wet ingredients, ensuring an even mix.
  • Incorporate Sour Cream: Add the sour cream to the wet mixture and whisk until fully blended.
  • Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 40–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Cool and Serve: Let the cake rest in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, cut into slices and enjoy as is, or sprinkle with powdered sugar for a sweet finishing touch.
