– 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla

– 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
– 3/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon allspice

Instructions
1-Ready to dive into baking this Apple Honey Cake? It’s easier than you might think, and the results are worth every minute. Start by preheating your oven to 325ยฐF (163ยฐC) to ensure even baking from the get-go. This temperature works wonders for a moist cake without over-browning the edges.
2-Begin by beating the 3 large eggs until they’re frothy, which helps incorporate air for a lighter texture. Then, whisk in the 3/4 cup honey, 1/2 cup white sugar, 1/4 cup light brown sugar, 1 1/4 cups canola oil, and 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla until everything blends smoothly. In another bowl, sift together the 3 cups all-purpose baking flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon, 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon allspice, and a dash of ground cloves to mix the dry ingredients evenly.
3-Combine the wet and dry mixtures gently, then fold in the 4 peeled, cored, and shredded Granny Smith apples along with their juice for extra moisture. Spray your Bundt pan evenly and pour in the batter, making sure it’s no more than three-quarters full. Smooth the top and slide it into the oven for 75 to 90 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
4-Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before flipping it onto a plate to cool completely. For the icing, sift 1 cup plus 3 tablespoons powdered sugar, stir in 1/4 teaspoon vanilla, and add 1/2 to 2 tablespoons water or non-dairy creamer gradually until it’s thick and smooth like honey. Put the icing in a sealing bag, snip a corner, and drizzle it over the cake in a zig-zag pattern. Let it dry for 30 to 60 minutes before serving.
