In a large bowl, whisk together orange juice, honey, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla, and cognac or rum. Gradually drizzle in olive oil, whisking to combine.

Step 3¶

In a separate bowl, combine baking soda, baking powder, all-purpose flour, cloves, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

Step 4¶

Slowly add dry ingredient mixture to wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not over mix or knead, as the dough will become tough.
