Honey Spice Cake

* 3/4 cup milk
* 3/4 cup honey
* 6 tablespoons butter
* 3 cups flour
* 2 tablespoons sugar
* 2 teaspoons baking powder
* 1 teaspoon cinnamon
* 1/2 teaspoon ginger
* 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
* 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
* 1 egg, lightly beaten
* 1/3 cup chopped candied orange peel
* 1 teaspoon anise seeds (optional)

Preheat oven to 350° F. Butter and flour an eight cup loaf pan.

Heat the milk in a small saucepan on low heat until warm to the touch. Stir in the honey until blended. Stir in the butter until it is completely melted. Remove from the heat and allow to cool until just warm.

Sift the flour with the sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger; nutmeg and ground cloves into a large mixing bowl. Stir in the cooled milk mixture and then the beaten egg. Mix until well blended. The dough will be stiff and sticky.

Mix in the candied orange peel and the anise seeds if you are using them. Spread dough into the prepared pan (you may need to push on it a bit to get it to fill into the corners). Bake at 350° F for fifty minutes.

Cool cake thoroughly and cover in plastic wrap to store.
