Instructions

1. Mix the baking soda with the orange juice until bubbles form, and then mix all the ingredients except flour until uniform. At the end mix in the flour. The batter should be moderately loose, but not too loose.

Afterthoughts

- I am not crazy about honey cakes, but this one is really good. I suppose I would not have guessed that it has honey, had I not known.

- This recipe is very easy to make, and I love the fact that there is not much oil in it.
