This lovely harvest-time ring cake is from Fall Baking, circa 2021, so the recipe isn’t vintage, but the feel of the cake is.
Between the cinnamon, cloves, honey, orange juice, and bourbon, it has a lovely old-fashioned vibe, and is perfect for dessert, or as a coffee cake with brunch.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, and beat just until combined.

Let cool and invert onto your serving plate.
Drizzle with the confectioners sugar glaze, and sprinkle on the sliced almonds.
