Over The Top Honey Cake

Ingredient :

4 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup oil
1 1/4 cups honey
1 cup coffee -- strong
3 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ginger
1 pinch cloves -- powdered
1/2 cup walnuts -- chopped or sliver

Method :

This traditional holiday cake gets its name because there is just about 1
cup of batter too much in this recipe and it you pour it all into your
tube pan without using the collar, it will go over the top and all over
your oven! Put eggs in mixing bowl of electric mixer and beat at medium
speed. Add remaining ingredients, except nuts, in order: sugar, brown
sugar, oil, honey, coffee, flour, baking soda, baking powder, vanilla,
cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and powdered cloves, while beating continuously.
Fold nuts in last, reserving some to place on top. Make a 2 inch collar
around the outside of a lightly oiled and floured tube pan and its inside
circle. Pour in batter. Sprinkle remaining nuts on top. Bake at 335:,
45-55 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes
out dry. Allow to cool before removing from pan. You can also bake this
cake in loaf pans cutting down on the baking time accordingly.
