Honey Cake with Almonds

Ingredients

• 150 g honey
• 100 ml whipping cream
• 250 g soft butter
• 50 g sugar
• 4 eggs
• 400 g flour
• 150 g ground almond kernels
• 1 tsp ground ginger
• 1 pinch mace flower
• 1 tsp Baking powder
• 2 Tbsp whipping cream
• 80 g almond slivers
• powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

1. 1.

   Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) with both top and bottom heat. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. 2.

   Warm the honey with the cream in a small pot until melted, then let it cool slightly. Beat the butter with the sugar until fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time. Mix the flour with almonds, ginger, mace, and baking powder; alternately stir into the honey‑cream mixture to form a smooth, relatively firm dough. If needed, add more flour or water. Pour into the prepared sheet and spread evenly. Brush with cream, sprinkle almond slivers, and bake for 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes (test with a skewer). If almonds brown too much, cover the cake with foil.

3. 3.

   Remove from oven, let cool, dust with powdered sugar, cut into pieces, and serve.
