Equipment

  • 10 inch cast iron skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp. vegetable shortening
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup honey
  • ½ cup brewed coffee
  • ½ cup melted butter
  • 2 cups flour (248g)
  • ½ tsp. baking powder
  • ½ tsp. baking soda
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 2 tsp. bourbon
  • 1½ cups sliced almonds
  • 1 tbsp. butter
  • 2 tbsp. brown sugar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a ten inch cast iron skillet with the shortening.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the eggs. Add the sugars and beat until light and thick.
  • In a small bowl stir together the coffee and honey, and then add it to the mixing bowl. Add the butter and mix until combined.
  • In a third bowl, sift together the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Add to the mixing bowl, and mix until just combined. Then add the vanilla and brandy.
  • Bake the cake for twenty minutes. Meanwhile, in a large skillet melt the tablespoon of butter, and two tablespoons of sugar, and toast the almonds for a few minutes.
  • Scatter the almonds on top of the cake and bake another ten minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Let cool on a rack for one hour, and then serve.
