Chocolate-Glazed Honey Cake Recipe

  • Cake:
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 1 cup honey
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup brewed coffee
  • 1 tablespoon jam (any flavor)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • Chocolate Glaze:
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3 1/2 tablespoons water
  • 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup margarine
  • 1 tablespoon brandy
  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease two 8×3-inch loaf pans.
  2. Mix 4 cups flour, 1 1/2 cups sugar, honey, eggs, oil, coffee, jam, baking powder, cinnamon, cloves, and baking soda together in a bowl until smooth; spread evenly into the prepared loaf pans.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Remove cake from pans and cool on a wire rack.
  4. Mix 1/2 cup sugar, cocoa powder, water, and 1 teaspoon flour together, stirring constantly, in a saucepan over low heat until mixture is smooth and thick, about 8 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and add margarine and brandy; whisk until glaze is thickened. Refrigerate glaze until cooled, at least 15 minutes.
  5. Spread glaze over cooled cakes.
