Ingredients:

  • ½ cup (1 stick/113g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup (120ml) vegetable oil
  • ½ cup (170g) honey
  • ½ cup (120ml) strong brewed coffee, cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups (360g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan (or line with parchment paper).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the oil, honey, vanilla extract, and cooled coffee.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
