Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Grease and flour two 9×5-inch loaf pans or one 9×13 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 overbeat.
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.

It has been said that long ago when honey was spoken about in the Bible, it was date honey, rather than bee honey. It is delicious and a great alternative if you are vegan.
