Grandma'S Honey Cake (Non-Dairy) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

5 eggs, separated
1/2 cup sugar (can be replaced with brown sugar for a darker-coloured cake)
1 cup dark honey
2/3 cup olive oil
1 cup walnuts, finely chopped
1 cup plain flour
2/3 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon white vinegar

Preparation

Preheat oven to 150\u00b0C (300\u00b0F). Line a 31 cm x 21 cm (12\" x 8\") tin with baking paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg whites, gradually adding sugar until the mixture is very thick (about 3 min with an electric mixer on high speed).
In a small mixing bowl, beat egg yolks until pale and creamy. Add honey and oil, and mix until combined.
Fold the honey mixture into the egg whites.
Add chopped walnuts and flour. In a tablespoon, combine baking soda with vinegar (the mixture will fizz) and add to mixing bowl. Beat on high speed until well combined.
Pour into prepared tin and bake for 50 min, or until a skewer inserted in to the centre comes out clean.
Cool cake in tin. To serve, slice into diamond-shaped slices and arrange on a platter.
