Ingredients:
2 1/3 cups sifted cake flour |
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon ground ginger |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
3/4 cup unsalted butter |
2/3 cup clover honey |
1/2 cup sugar |
3 large egg yolks |
3/4 cup plain yogurt, plus |
2 tablespoons plain yogurt |
4 large egg whites |
1 1/4 cups sifted powdered sugar |
1 1/2 tablespoons rum |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Grease and flour 1 (9-inch) tube pan or 1 (8 to 10-cup) fluted tube or bundt pan.
3. Sift the cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt together, then sift again into a large bowl. In another large bowl, beat the butter with an electric mixer on high speed until creamy.
4. Gradually add the honey and 1/4 cup of the sugar to the butter and beat on high speed until well mixed, 2 to 4 minutes.
5. Beat in the egg yolks, 1 at a time.
6. Beat on low and add the flour mixture in 3 parts, alternating with the yogurt in 2 parts.
7. Beat until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
8. In another large bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form.
9. Gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup sugar, beating on high speed, until stiff.
10. Fold the egg whites into the batter.
11. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until a tester comes out clean, 45 to 55 minutes.
12. Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes and then invert the cake onto the rack and allow to cool completely.
13. In a small bowl combine the powdered sugar and rum and stir to combine. Mixture should be a stiff glaze. If the glaze is too thick, thin with a bit of milk.
14. Using a spoon, drizzle the glaze all over the cake in a random pattern.
15. Let the cake sit until the glaze has hardened.
16. Serve.
