• 3 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• Grated rind of 1 lemon
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 1 cup flavored honey (lavender, thyme, citrus)
• 1 cup warm black coffee
• 3 1/2 cups all purpose flour, sifted
• 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon cream of tarter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 cup slivered almonds

Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.

Place the eggs, lemon juice, lemon rind, oil, honey and coffee in a bowl of an electric mixer.  Mix on low speed until well blended.

In a separate bowl combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cream of tartar, sugar and cinnamon with a fork until mixed.

Gradually add the flour mixture to the eggs mixture, mixing for about 5 minutes or until well blended.  Fold in the slivered almonds.

Pour the batter into the tube pan.  Bake in the oven for 50 minutes to 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
