Preheat oven to 325°. Grease and flour a Bundt pan and set aside. 

Sift together the flour, spices, baking soda and powder, and salt in a large bowl. 

In another bowl, beat ¾ cup sugar and 6 egg yolks with a mixer at medium-high speed. After about 4 minutes, the mixture should triple in volume. 

Stir in oil, honey, orange juice, and orange zest. Add liquid mixtures to dry mixture and stir until just combined.

Beat 6 egg whites on high speed until soft peaks appear. Add the remaining ¼ cup of sugar and continue to beat until stiff peaks form. Fold this mixture into the cake batter and pour entire mixture into previously prepared Bundt pan. 

Bake cake for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean. 

As cake cools, whisk together the orange juice, confectioners’ sugar, vanilla and almond extracts. Refrigerate glaze until cake has cooled. 

Glaze, sprinkle with sliced almonds if you desire and and enjoy the holiday!
