Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups self-raising flour
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 tbs. baking powder
  • 3 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1 tsp. ginger powder
  • 1/4 tsp. all spice
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup coconut or vegetable oil
  • 1 cup honey
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 orange zest only
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 1 tbs. whiskey
  • 1 tbs. almond milk
  • 1/4 cup coffee cooled down
  • 2 cups blueberries (you can use frozen if you need to)

For the topping:

  • 1/4 cup toasted almonds chopped
  • 1 cup confectioner’s sugar
  • 2 lemons juice only
  • 1 orange zest only
  • additional blueberries

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking powder, spices and sugar; mix well.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the eggs, oil, honey, vanilla extract, orange juice, whisky, almond milk and coffee. Combine the ingredients thoroughly with whisk or a hand mixer until smooth. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the wet mixture into the well. Whisk until you have a smooth cake batter with no lumps, making sure there is no flour at the bottom of the bowl. Add the blueberries and mix well.
  • Grease a 9-inch cake pan with a little bit of vegetable or coconut oil.
  • Pour in the cake batter and allow it to settle and even out for a few minutes.
  • Bake for 40-50 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean when pressed into the middle of the cake.
  • Allow the cake to cool a little and then remove from the cake pan. Allow it to cool fully.
  • Meanwhile, make the glaze: Combine the confectioners sugar with the orange zest and the lemon juice. Mix well with a spoon until smooth with no lumps and it has reached a syrupy consistency.
  • When the cake has cooled, drizzle it with the glaze and sprinkle it with blueberries and the toasted almonds. Enjoy for up to 3 days and store it in the refrigerator, covered.
