This cake makes a delicious dessert when served with a
dollop of Greek yogurt (such as Total) and marinated morello cherries, or fresh
fruit.

Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs, separated
- ¾ cup sage honey
- 3-1/5 ounces or 100gr butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 vanilla bean
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 cups/250gr flour
- For serving: Greek
yogurt and morello cherries or fresh
fruit
Method:
- Pre-heat oven to 325F/160C and prepare pan (butter sides and
place parchment paper on the bottom).
- In a mixing bowl, begin to beat together egg yolks and
honey. Add melted butter in a thin
stream, beating constantly. Cut the
vanilla bean in half, scrape out the seeds and add to mixture along with the
cinnamon. Beat until well
incorporated.
- Continue beating and add the flour. Beat at high speed for approximately 5
minutes, or until the mixture forms thick ribbons.
- In a separate bowl beat the egg whites with clean beaters
until stiff peaks have formed.
- Carefully fold the beaten egg whites into the batter.
- Pour into prepared pan.
Bake in pre-heated oven for approximately 40 minutes, or until cake
tests done.

into 8 wedges.
