  2. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and allspice; set aside.
  3. In another large bowl, beat eggs with an electric mixer; add sugar, oil and honey. Beat until combined and mixture is pale yellow; stir in applesauce and lemon zest.
  4. Slowly incorporate flour mixture into egg mixture using an electric mixer; mix thoroughly but do not over beat.
  5. Spoon batter into prepared pan; sprinkle with almonds. Bake in middle of oven until a toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean, about 40 to 45 minutes.

If you prefer your cake with a denser texture, bake it at 325ºF for 45 minutes. Then reduce the oven temperature to 300ºF and bake for 15 minutes more.
