Servings

Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup + 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 3/4 cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 cup flour
  • 1 cup strong brewed decaf or regular coffee
  • 1/2 cup golden raisins coated first in flour (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Sift dry ingredients and set aside.
  • Beat eggs in mixing bowl. Combine slowly with sugar, oil and then honey.
  • Add coffee alternating with your dry ingredients, taking care to mix only until the dry ingredients are combined. Sprinkle in the flour covered raisins at the end, by hand.
  • Mixture can be poured into one 9 by 12 cake pan, or two loaf pans, or in mini-loaf or cupcake pans. Fill the pans halfway or a little more.
  • The baking time can be anywhere from 15 to 35 or 40 minutes, depending on the depth of your pan. Test for doneness by piercing with a toothpick; If the toothpick comes away clean, the cake is done. The recipe doubles well and freezes well.
