Moist, Dense Honey Cake

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Have ready a full size tube pan or 3 8-inch loaf pans. Do not grease them.

Dissolve coffee in water; set aside. Combine flour with baking soda and baking powder.

In the bowl of electric mixer, beat egg yolks with 1/2 cup sugar, honey and oil for 10 minutes, until light and frothy. Add orange juice, whiskey and vanilla. Add dry ingredients and dissolved coffee, alternating between the two and mixing slowly between each addition. Set aside. In a clean bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Slowly add remaining 1/2 cup sugar and continue beating until you have firm peaks.

Fold the whites into the yolk mixture. Pour batter into the ungreased tube pan or loaf pans. Bake for 1 Hour or until a toothpick inserted in the center of cake comes out clean. Remove from oven and cool.
