Notes
- I've used an 8-inch cake pan here. If using a 9-inch pan, check for doneness after 20 minutes.
- Flour: I've used self-raising flour here in this recipe. However, if you don't have self-raising flour it is easy to substitute with all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 + 1/2 tsps of baking powder and 1/2 tsp of salt to make your self-raising flour.
- Don't skimp on the amount of honey, because honey is the main ingredient in this cake.
- If you don't have whole almonds to be ground up, you can use almond meal. But whenever possible use ground almonds.
- Alternatively, you can use hazelnuts in place of almonds for this cake.
- Store leftovers by wrapping it up in cling film and then storing in an air tight container for up to 3 days.
- Drizzle some more honey when you serve it.
