This recipe can be made in three standard loaf pans, two 9-inch square or round cake pans, one 9- or 10-inch tube or bundt cake pan, or one 9×13-inch sheet cake. I made mine in a 9-cup bundt pan (a bit smaller than standard) and baked the leftover in an 8-inch loaf pan.

If, for whatever reason, you prefer not to bake with alcohol, you can add an extra two tablespoons each of coffee and orange juice.)

“Makes one 9”x5" loaf — inspired by this recipe on Pinch My Salt (http://pinchmysalt.com/2008/03/17/orange-yogurt-bread-recipe/)

“This is the kind of simple recipe I love to have in my collection, and I have a feeling I’ll be turning to it again and again. It mixes up quickly, can be eaten plain or gussied up, and stays moist for several days. Like most baked goods it also freezes beautifully — and can be easily sliced when frozen.

One of the nicest things about cake recipes is that there are basically an endless number of them — change one or two things and you’ll often end up with an entirely different dessert. Next time I’ll make this cake using a combination of lemon and lime, or maybe even lemon, lime, and orange. Meyer lemons would probably be delightful. As always, I urge you to seek out local and organic ingredients whenever possible."

This recipe comes from Augusta Stein, my stepson’s grandmother. She was known for her baking, especially this honey cake. The recipe is classic in its use of coffee, citrus zest, and nuts. I have made one change, substituting apple sauce for oil, which makes the cake less sticky. This cake keeps at room temperature for several weeks, so you can always have a homemade treat on hand.
Fast Fact: Buckwheat honey comes from the same plant as the grain also called kasha. It has a unique, robust flavor that is also less sweet than other kinds of honey. Natural food stores like Wild Oats Market are likely to have it.
Quick Tip: If you like, use lemon in place of orange zest, and blanched almonds rather than walnuts.
