How to make Honey Cake
- Step 1
In a large bowl, beat the liquid ingredients (except the egg whites). In a separate bowl, mix the dry ingredients and then incorporate them into the liquid mixture.
- Step 2
Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt. When they are almost at stiff peak stage, add a few drops of lemon juice and gradually add the sugar, continuing to beat until a meringue forms.
- Step 3
Gently fold the egg whites into the previous mixture. Start by folding in one-third of the meringue, then add the rest, mixing gently with a spatula using smooth, folding motions.
- Step 4
Pour the batter into a lightly greased bundt pan (savarín mold). Let the batter rest for a few minutes, then tap the base of the pan lightly to remove any air bubbles.
- Step 5
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for approximately 30 minutes, or until the cake pulls away from the sides of the pan and the surface is golden.
- Step 6
Remove from the oven and allow to cool before unmolding.
