1. Heat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 10-inch tube pan with a small splash of the vegetable oil and set it aside.

2. Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, kosher salt, cinnamon, ground cloves and allspice together in a medium bowl.

3. In a large bowl, beat the remaining vegetable oil, honey, granulated sugar and light brown sugar until smooth and well combined.

4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.

5. In a jug, stir together the warm coffee, orange juice and whiskey.

6. Add the dry ingredients to the batter in three parts, alternating with the liquid mixture in two parts, starting and ending with the flour. Mix only until combined.

7. If using, fold the slivered almonds into the batter.

8. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 60 to 70 minutes, checking after 50 minutes, until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.

9. Cool the cake in the pan for 15 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack and let it cool completely before slicing.
