½ teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
1 cup sugar
1 cup honey
½ cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup brewed black tea (cooled)
1 tablespoon fresh orange juice (optional)

Preparation:

Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch round or square cake pan and line with parchment paper.
Mix dry ingredients:
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and salt.
Mix wet ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the honey, oil, vanilla, tea, and orange juice. Mix until smooth.
Combine mixtures:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Bake the cake:
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 45–55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool and serve:
Let the cake cool completely before slicing. Dust with powdered sugar or glaze with honey if desired.
