Ingredients
- 5 eggs, separated
- 1/2 cup sugar (can be replaced with brown sugar for a darker-coloured cake)
- 1 cup dark honey
- 2/3 cup olive oil
- 1 cup walnuts, finely chopped
- 1 cup plain flour
- 2/3 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon white vinegar
Method
- Preheat oven to 150°C (300°F). Line a 31 cm x 21 cm (12" x 8") tin with baking paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg whites, gradually adding sugar until the mixture is very thick (about 3 min with an electric mixer on high speed).
- In a small mixing bowl, beat egg yolks until pale and creamy. Add honey and oil, and mix until combined.
- Fold the honey mixture into the egg whites.
- Add chopped walnuts and flour. In a tablespoon, combine baking soda with vinegar (the mixture will fizz) and add to mixing bowl. Beat on high speed until well combined.
- Pour into prepared tin and bake for 50 min, or until a skewer inserted in to the centre comes out clean.
- Cool cake in tin. To serve, slice into diamond-shaped slices and arrange on a platter.
