Honey Spice Batter:
Chocolate Batter:
Garnish:
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Generously spray a 9"-10" tube pan with cooking spray.
For honey spice batter, place flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cloves, and allspice in a bowl. Blend with a whisk, then make a well in the center. Stir in oil, honey, white and brown sugars, eggs, vanilla, tea, and orange juice. Blend well to make a smooth batter. Set aside.
For chocolate batter, in a separate bowl, combine flour, cocoa, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Make a well in the center and whisk in white and brown sugars, oil, eggs, vanilla, and cola. Blend well to make a smooth batter.
Pour honey spice batter into prepared pan. Top with chocolate batter. Place pan on a baking sheet and bake 55-65 minutes or until cake springs back when gently touched.
Cool 10 minutes then un-mold and place on a serving platter. While cake is still warm, sprinkle on grated chocolate and allow to melt. If you prefer, chill cake to set chocolate and then dust with confectioners' sugar.
