Preparation Steps
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8-inch springform or cake pan by lightly spraying it with non-stick spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cloves, allspice, and ginger.
- In another bowl, mix the vegetable oil and honey. Add brown sugar and granulated sugar, then beat in the eggs one at a time.
- Incorporate the brewed coffee, freshly squeezed orange juice, and vanilla extract into the wet mixture.
- Gradually pour the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing gently until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40–50 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
- For the frosting, beat softened butter until creamy, then gradually add confectioners' sugar until fully incorporated.
- Add the vanilla extract, orange zest, and salt, mixing until well combined; adjust consistency with milk as needed.
- Once cooled, frost the cake evenly with the citrus vanilla frosting.
