A delightful spiced honey loaf that combines warm spices with a moist texture, perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even baking.
Grease a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray or line it with parchment paper.
Lining with parchment paper makes it easier to remove the loaf.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, nutmeg, allspice, ginger, and cinnamon.
Sifting the dry ingredients can help avoid lumps.
In another bowl, combine the sour cream, honey, eggs, and canola oil until smooth.
Ensure the wet ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the loaf tender.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle the top with sliced almonds.
Tap the pan gently to remove air bubbles.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Check the loaf at the 45-minute mark to avoid overbaking.
Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cooling on a wire rack prevents the bottom from becoming soggy.
Slice and serve the loaf as a delightful treat with tea or coffee.
Serve with a drizzle of honey or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
