I recently made a honey cake with orange flavoring, including orange juice and zest and Grand Marnier (instead of the rye). Here's the recipe: Majestic and Moist New Year's Honey Cake recipe | Epicurious.com
It tasted great, but it came out darker than I wanted. I'd like it to be a lighter golden honey color. I think it was the coffee, and maybe the brown sugar, that made it dark.
Next time, I plan to use light brown sugar. I'm wondering what would be a good substitute for the coffee. Maybe a half cup each of orange juice and milk? Or a half cup each of orange juice and water? What would you do? TIA.
