Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour a 9-inch cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the self-raising flour, ground almonds, spice mix, and cardamom. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy using an electric mixer.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- Add the honey, sour cream, lemon zest, and whiskey into the mixture. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture, gently folding it in until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth and desired consistency is reached.
- Once the cake has cooled completely, drizzle the lemon glaze over the top of the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
- Decorate with a cinnamon stick on top for a festive touch. (Note: Garlic cloves were included in the ingredient list likely by mistake or for decorative purposes and should not be used in the cake.)
- Slice the cake and enjoy a piece with a warm beverage of your choice.
Tips:
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting to make the mixing process smoother.
- Use freshly grated lemon zest for an intensified citrus flavor.
- When measuring honey, lightly oil your measuring cup to prevent the honey from sticking.
- Do not overmix the batter to maintain a light and fluffy texture.
- Test the cake for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely before adding the lemon glaze to ensure it sets properly.
- For an added touch, garnish with lemon slices or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
With its moist texture and harmonious blend of flavors, the Hot Toddy Spice Cake is a delectable treat that's sure to become a favorite. Serve it at your next gathering or enjoy it with a cup of tea for a comforting and delicious experience. Happy baking!
