Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 3 tablespoons neutral oil (such as vegetable, canola, or avocado oil; plus more for brushing)
  • 1 cup cake flour
  • 4 large eggs (at room temperature; 4 large eggs should weigh about 190g without the shell)
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • Sesame seeds (or finely chopped nuts of your choice, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a cake pan.
  2. Mix ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together oil, cake flour, eggs, sugar, and honey until smooth.
  3. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle sesame seeds or nuts on top. Bake for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  4. Cool and serve: Let the cake cool before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • You can customize the sweetness by adjusting the amount of sugar and honey.
  • For added flavor, you can incorporate vanilla extract or citrus zest into the batter.
