Ingredients:  
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon cloves
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1 cup canola oil
1 cup honey
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
3 eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup warm coffee or strong tea
3/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup rye or whisky *
1/2 cup slivered or sliced almonds, optional
Directions:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 F. Line the bottom and sides of a 10 inch angel food cake pan lightly greased parchment paper, cut to fit. Stack two baking sheets together and line the top one with parchment paper. Place cake pan on that (this prevents the bottom from browning too quickly)

In a large bowl or large food processor, blend together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cloves and allspice. Make a well in the centre, and add oil, honey, white sugar, brown sugars, eggs, vanilla, coffee, orange juice and rye or whisky. Blend well, making sure that no ingredients are stuck to the bottom. This is a thin batter.

Spoon batter into prepared pan and sprinkle top of cake (s) evenly with almonds. Place cake pan on baking sheet.

Bake until cake tests done, that is, it springs back when you gently touch the cake centre, 55–65 minutes.

If cake seems done but still seems a bit wobbly in center, lower the oven temperature and give it 10–20 more minutes. This is very important — give the cake the amount of baking it needs.

Let cake stand fifteen minutes before removing from pan.

* If you prefer not to use the whisky, replace it with orange juice or coffee.

The very best pan for this cake is a angel food cake pan from Fat Daddios
