1

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease two 8-inch square pans.
2

Stir the coffee and hot water together in a bowl, then let cool.
3

In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks and sugar with an electric mixer until creamy. Add the oil, then the honey, beating well after each addition.
4

In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cloves, and allspice. Add the flour mixture, alternating with the coffee mixture and the honey mixture, stirring the batter briefly after each addition.
5

Beat the egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until stiff. Fold them into the batter in three batches, then pour into the prepared pans.
6

Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
