Nutritional Info Per Serving: N/A
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 cup sugar
2-1/2 cups cake flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup honey (Orange Blossom preferred)
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons orange rind, finely grated
1/4 cup orange juice
2 teaspoons vanilla
My cake wasn't done in the specified time, so I lowered the heat to 300°F and continued cooking about 30 minutes more until the knife was removed clean and the cake browned a little, not quite as dark as a regular honey cake would be.
