BOURBON HONEY CAKE
"My Bourbon Honey Cake came from a strong taste memory: It's inspired by a classic Jewish holiday dessert that my mother served. I started with the flavors of honey, orange and autumn spices, then I added hot coffee for depth and rich bourbon to give it a grown-up edge. And because texture is so important, I added crunchy sliced almonds to the top. When it all came together, it was even better than I remembered!" says Ina.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Brush a 9-inch angel food cake pan with a nonremovable bottom with oil, line the bottom with parchment paper, then oil and flour the pan.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix the oil, 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 blend. Combine the coffee, orange juice and bourbon in a 2-cup glass measuring cup. With the mixer on low, alternately add the flour and liquid mixtures to the oil-sugar mixture in thirds, beginning and ending with flour, until combined. Scrape down the bowl with a rubber spatula. Don't worry; the batter will be very liquid!
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Rap the pan 5 times on the counter to get rid of any bubbles in the batter. Sprinkle the top with the almonds. Bake in the center of the oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool completely, then remove from the pan and place almond-side up on a flat serving plate. Serve at room temperature.
