honey & almond cake

serves 12-16

Ingedients:

- scant 3/4 c. unsalted butter + extra for pan

- 1/2 c. light brown sugar

- 1/2 c. honey

- 1 T. lemon juice

- 2 eggs, beaten

- scant 1 1/2 c. self- rising flour

- 3 T. sliced almonds

* warm honey to glaze

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Grease and line an 8-inch or 9-inch cake pan. Set aside.

2. Place the butter, sugar, honey and lemon juice in a sauce pan

and stir over a medium heat, without boiling, until melted and smooth.

3. Remove pan from heat and quickly beat in the eggs with a wooden spoon. 

Sift in the flour and stir lightly. Pour into prepared pan and scatter the almonds over the top.

4. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, until risen, firm and

golden brown. Cool in pan for 15 minutes, then turn out onto your

plate, platter or cake stand to cool completely. 

Brush with about 2-4 T. warmed honey. 

I warmed the honey in the microwave for about 30 seconds.

Cut into slices and Enjoy with tea <3
