Cake of honey (with spices)

Ingredients
  • Flour, 750 grams
  • Medium-sized eggs, 4
  • Sugar, 200 grams
  • Chemical yeast, 2 spoonfuls of coffee
  • Infusion of warm coffee, 100 cc (half a cup)
  • Honey, 200 cc (a cup)
  • Oil, 2 soup spoonfuls
  • Cinnamon, half a spoonful of coffee
  • Walnuts cut up, 100 grams
  • Clove of smell, a little
  • Raisin (without seeds), a cup

Elaboration
  • Cover with oil and flour a round mould. Warm up the oven at 160 degrees.
  • Beat the eggs with the sugar until they are foamy.
  • In a container separately, throw the honey, the oil and the coffee and mix well.
  • Pour this preparation on the milk shake of eggs and beat until they remain well integrated. Sieve the flour in a bowl together with the powder to bake, the cinnamon and the clove.
  • Incorporate the flour, in a soft and surrounding way, to the mixture of the eggs with the honey and the coffee.
  • Sprinkle with flour the raisins and the walnuts, and incorporate them to the preparation.
  • Pour the mixture into the mould. Cook in the oven –previously warmed up- at 160 degrees for 60 minutes.
  • In order not to get the cake browned, cover the cake with silver foil up, by half of the cooking. Withdraw from the oven and turn it out on a grid. Let it cool.
  • Before serving, spread some honey of orange blossom over the cake.
