Preheat Oven 350°

    Prep Pans. Spray baking spray and line bottoms with parchment paper. You can prep pans with oil if you like, but do line with parchment.

    • In large mixing bowl whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and the spices.
    • With an electric mixer, add to the flour mixture to the oil, honey, eggs, sugars, vanilla, coffee, orange juice and whiskey. Scrape down sides to get it all in the mix.
      Mix for a few minutes until it is all blended in.
    • Pour batter into the prepared pans.
    • You can top the cake with almonds or any kind of nuts at this point, but that is optional.

      Notes

       
      • Pans & Bake Time: 
        • Bundt or Round:  60-70 minutes
        • Loaf Pans:  45-55 minutes
        • Sheet Cake:  40-45 minutes
      • Depending on your oven, start watching the cake at the lowest time posted.  It is done when a tester is inserted and comes out clean.
      • I always use 2 loaf pans for this recipe and the timing was @58 minutes for one pan and the other was a bit longer because they were two different loaf pans.  Just check it every couple of minutes.
      Using a loaf pan can be cut to make it go around for larger crowds.  On an average each loaf can feed 10 or more depending on how they are sliced.  They can be sliced vertically and horizontally.
