- Grease and flour 2 9x5 inch loaf pans or one 9x13 pan. ( I used 2, 8 x 4 pans and batter filled each slightly over 1/2 full )
- I also lined pans with waxed paper so raisins would not stick to pan
- Set aside.
- In a saucepan, combine the honey and coffee and bring to a boil.
- Cool and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, blend the eggs, brown sugar and oil.
- Do not over-beat.
- Sift the flour, baking powder and baking soda and spices together.
- Stir the flour and honey into the eggs alternating and ending with the liquid.
- Stir in the raisins.
- Blend well.
- Pour into the prepared pans and place the almonds over the cake.
- Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until the cake springs back.
- Let sit overnight before serving.
