Honey, orange, sweet spices, and rich-tasting Medjool dates flavor this moist and dense almond-flour cake. The pretty Bundt pan shape and generous size make it equally appropriate for celebrations as for an afternoon treat. Use ghee (Indian-style clarified butter that has had the milk solids removed) or coconut oil in place of butter if you’re following a strict Paleo diet.
