How to make Honey Cake

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. Step 6

    Remove from the oven and allow to cool before unmolding.
