Ingredients

  • 12 large eggs room temp
  • 1 cup honey
  • 2 cups fresh milled flour double sifted
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp vanilla bean paste

Instructions

  • Add the eggs to the bowl of a stand mixer.
  • Whip the eggs for 10 minutes, or until thick and fluffy, gradually adding the honey as they whip.
  • In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder.
  • Add the flour mixture to the egg mixture a little at a time, gently folding with a spatula after each addition.
  • Gently fold in the vanilla bean paste. Do not overmix, as this will deflate the batter.
  • Divide the batter evenly between two prepared 9-inch cake pans.
  • Bake at 350°F for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Notes

DO NOT OVERMIX OR YOU WILL DEFLATE THE BATTER!
