Steps:
- Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Grease a 900g/2lb loaf tin and line with a strip of baking parchment that overhangs each end - this will help you lift the cake out when it is cooked.
- Put the butter, honey, caster sugar, ground almonds, flour, baking powder, bicarb and yogurt into a large mixing bowl. Put the egg whites into another small bowl. Put the yolk and remaining whole egg in with all the other ingredients.
- Whisk the whites until stiff, then put your electric beater into the other bowl of ingredients and beat until just smooth. Stir in a third of the whites, then gently fold in the rest with a wooden spoon. Tip the mix into the prepared tin, scatter over the flaked almonds and bake for 55 mins on the middle-lower shelf of the oven until golden and a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven. Quickly drizzle with 2 tbsp honey and scatter with a small pinch of fine salt. Put back in the oven for 5 mins more. Remove from the oven, drizzle with 2 more tbsp honey, then cool in the tin on a wire rack. Release stuck almonds from around the edge with a knife; then, using the parchment overhangs, carefully lift the cake from the tin. Eat in slices, drizzled with a little extra honey if you like.

HONEY CAKE RECIPE
I highly recommend to make the cake 1-2 days ahead of time. It will taste better and the flavors will be stronger. Keep it in the fridge but serve it at room temperature. If you want a super fluffy and airy cake, you can use the same recipe but separate the eggs. When the recipe calls for mixing eggs with sugar and honey, use only the egg yolks. After mixing all the ingredients, whisk the egg whites with a mixer until they form soft peaks, then gently fold into the batter using a spatula.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 340°F/170°C. Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, cloves, and cardamom/nutmeg. Set aside.
- In a mixer bowl fitted with the whisk attachment, whisk together eggs, granulated sugar, and honey on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes. On low speed and with the mixer running, slowly add the oil and vanilla extract and beat until combined. Turn off mixer. Beat in the flour mixture in 3 additions, alternating with the coffee/tea in 2 additions, starting and ending with the flour. Beat until smooth. Do not over mix.
- Pour the batter into prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle with nuts. Bake for 35-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. If the top is browning too fast while baking, cover pan loosely with aluminum foil. Allow cake to cool for 10 minutes, then remove from pan and set on a wire rack to cool completely.
- The cake tastes better a day after it's made. It's best served at room temperature. Cake will keep for 5 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 180C (375F).
- Place flour and sugar in a bowl.
- In another bowl combine butter, eggs, honey and sour cream mix until well combined.
- Add butter mixture to dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Spoon mix into ring tin and bake 30 minutes or until cooked when tested with a skewer.
Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all the ingredients and tools you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
- Measure Ingredients Accurately: Baking is a science, so it's important to measure your ingredients accurately. Use a kitchen scale for the best results.
- Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Whenever possible, use room temperature ingredients. This will help your ingredients blend together more easily and create a smoother batter.
- Cream Butter and Sugar Thoroughly: When creaming butter and sugar together, make sure you do it until the mixture is light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the batter and make your cake light and airy.
- Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can make your cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the Cake in a Preheated Oven: Always preheat your oven before baking the cake. This will help ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
- Use a Cake Tester to Check for Doneness: Insert a cake tester into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done. If it comes out with batter or crumbs attached, the cake needs to bake longer.
- Let the Cake Cool Completely Before Frosting: Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
Conclusion:
With these tips in mind, you'll be able to bake a delicious honey cake that's perfect for any occasion. So preheat your oven, gather your ingredients, and let's get baking!
