Verdict: Spiced honey cake

The eagle-eyed amongst you may be wondering why there's a verdict for a cake I baked for Alan. Well, it turns out that I'm a muppet - I forgot to bring the cake with me. Anyway, I'm seeing him in about two weeks' time anyway, so I'll bake him another one. Aaaaannnyway, how was the cake itself? Slightly dense - I think too much liquid and possibly not enough baking powder. The spice was quite subtle; fairly nice, but definitely subtle. Perhaps a bit more would be better. The honey flavour did come through though, which lent the cake a lovely depth. I think it's a pretty good success!
