The Chocolate-Glazed Honey Cake is a show-stopping dessert that's perfect for special occasions. The cake is incredibly rich and indulgent, with a deep honey flavor that complements the warm spices and chocolate glaze perfectly. It's a bit of a labor of love to make, but the end result is well worth it. Serve slices of this cake with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate indulgence.

Instructions

1.Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup bundt cake pan.
2.In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, white sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, cloves, and baking soda.
3.In a separate mixing bowl, mix together the honey, eggs, vegetable oil, coffee, and jam until well-combined.
4.Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
5.Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool the cake for 10 minutes in the pan before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
6.To make the chocolate glaze, combine the sugar, cocoa powder, water, and flour in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk continuously until the mixture thickens, then add the margarine and brandy. Stir until the margarine is melted and the mixture is smooth.
7.Drizzle the chocolate glaze over the cooled cake. Serve slices with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
