In a small saucepan, over medium-low heat, heat honey with coffee until warm and remove from heat. Stir in bourbon, brandy or water. In a large bowl, beat eggs with vegatble oil until well blended. Beat in ginger preserve or stem ginger. Alternately, in 3 or 4 batches, stir warm honey mixture and flour mixture into the beaten egg mixture until well blended. Pour mixture into prepared tin. Bake until a skewer inserted in centre comes out with just a few crumbs attached and top springs back whien gently pressed with finger, I hour. Remove tin to wire rack and cool completely. Turn out cake on to a rack and then back on to serving plate, so that cake is right side up. Dust with icing sugar or, if you do not mind a sticky cake, brush with slightly heated honey, and cut into squares to serve. Hopes this helps you to have a sweet new year.
