Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 5 tbsp runny honey
- 150g flaked almonds
Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 190°C/170°C fan/gas 5, and grease and line a small round cake tin (20cm across). Separate the eggs and whisk the whites to stiff peaks. Beat the yolks with 4tbsp of the honey, mixing well.
Step 2
Blitz 125g of the flaked almonds in a food processor to grind them. Put the remaining 25g on a baking sheet and, as the oven gets hot, pop them in for 5-10 mins to toast them. Keep an eye on them; they’ll colour very quickly.
Step 3
Mix the ground almonds with the egg yolks and honey, and gradually fold in the egg whites using a metal spoon, being careful not to over-mix and beat out all the air. Transfer the mixture to the cake tin and bake for 25 mins, lowering the temperature for the final 10 mins to 180°C/160°C fan/gas 4.
Step 4
Allow the cake to cool completely in the tin before turning it out onto a wire rack. Drizzle the final tablespoon of honey over the top, then sprinkle over the toasted almonds.
Step 5
The cake will keep for 1 to 2 days in an airtight tin – if it lasts that long…
