Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a fixed-bottom angel food cake pan, line the bottom with parchment paper, then grease and flour the pan.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter, granulated sugar, honey, brown sugar, eggs, orange zest, and vanilla on medium speed for 1 minute. In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, cloves, allspice, and ginger and mix. Combine the coffee, orange juice, and bourbon in a 2-cup measuring cup. With the mixer speed reduced to low, add the flour and liquid mixtures alternately to the butter-sugar mixture, one third at a time, beginning and ending with the flour, until smooth. The batter will be very runny!
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Tap the pan 5 times on the counter to remove any air bubbles. Sprinkle with almonds. Bake in the center of the oven for 40–45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let cool completely, then remove from the pan and place the cake, almond-side up, on a flat serving plate. Serve at room temperature.
