Ingredients

Cake

  • 1 and 1/2 cups Gefen Honey

  • 1 bag orange tea

  • 1 small orange

  • 1 cup white sugar

  • 3 large eggs

  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil

  • 3 and 1/2 cups all purpose flour, such as Glicks

  • 3 teaspoons baking soda

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon Haddar Kosher Salt

  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

  • 1/2 teaspoon cardamom

  • 1 heaping cup fresh or frozen blueberries, coated in 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour, such as Glicks

Hazelnut Streusel

  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour, such as Glicks

  • 1/2 cup crushed hazelnuts

  • 1/4 cup old-fashioned oats

  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted margarine/vegan butter, softened

  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

  • 1 teaspoon Haddar Kosher Salt

Directions

Prepare the Cake

1.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease your pan(s) with cooking spray. If using loaf pans, grease the pans, add a layer of parchment paper then grease the pan again.

2.

Whisk together the honey and hot orange tea and set aside to cool.

3.

In a food processor, blend the entire orange WITH the peel on then add the sugar and blend again. Pour this mixture into a stand mixer bowl, add the eggs and oil and beat until combined.

4.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and cardamom.

5.

Alternating between the dry mixture and the tea mixture, beginning and ending with the dry, add to the stand mixer and beat until the batter is smooth and there are no clumps. Alternating the dry and wet will keep the batter light and airy. Fold the blueberries into the batter then pour the batter into the prepared pan(s).

6.

To make the streusel, combine the flour, hazelnuts, oats, brown sugar, margarine, cinnamon and salt with a fork. Top the batter with the streusel.

7.

Bake muffins for 30 minutes, loaf pans 45–50 minutes, and bundt for around one hour. Use a toothpick or cake tester inserted into the cake to make sure the batter isn’t wet then remove and let cool. Enjoy!!!

Notes:

This cake freezes very well so you can make it ahead.

Please clarify the “ orange tea” in Melinda Strauss’ “Blueberry Honey Cake” recipe I’m not sure what is meant by “ orange tea” and please let me know how much tea to combine with the honey, it isn’t in the ingredient list. It just says “ 1 bag of orange tea”. I’m assuming to be combined with hot water – but how much?
Thanks!
