Coffee, orange juice, and brown sugar give this cake depth without covering up the honey flavor, which is the whole reason to make a honey cake. Using oil instead of butter and stirring the batter together with a light hand produce a moist, tender crumb that holds up for days. In fact, it’s even better on day two.
