Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F. In a bowl, whisk together 2 cups almond flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 2 tsp orange zest, and 1/4 tsp salt until evenly distributed.
  2. Step 2: In a separate large bowl, beat 3 large eggs with 1/3 cup honey and 1 tsp vanilla extract until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently. Then fold in 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter until just combined.
  4. Step 4: Pour batter into a greased 8-inch round cake pan and bake for 30-35 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the edges are golden.
  5. Step 5: While the cake cools, whip 1 cup chilled heavy cream with 2 tbsp honey to soft peaks using an electric mixer.
  6. Step 6: Once the cake is completely cooled, spread the whipped honey cream evenly on top. Garnish with extra orange zest if desired.
