Serves 6 to 8
Preparation time: 10 mins
Cooking time: 30 mins

5 large eggs
2/3 cup (150 g) caster or superfine sugar
1/4 cup (60 ml) honey
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 cup (90 g) all-purpose flour
Additional caster sugar for dusting

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C/Gas mark 4). Grease and flour a 9-in (221/2-cm)-square baking pan.

2. Break the eggs into a bowl and beat until frothy. Beat in the sugar and honey gradually. Continue beating until the mixture is thick and pale and the eggbeater leaves a thin ribbon, about 12 minutes.

3. Sift the baking powder and flour together into the bowl with the egg mixture.

4. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture until just combined. Carefully pour the mixture into the prepared cake pan.

5. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool completely on a wire rack.

6. Dust with caster sugar and cut into squares before serving.
