Preparation Steps
1
Separate the eggs. In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the sugar and honey until pale and fluffy.
2
Add the vanilla extract and melted butter, then mix until smooth.
3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and cinnamon.
4
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the egg yolk mixture, mixing until just combined.
5
In a clean bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter, being careful not to deflate it.
6
Pour the batter into a greased and floured sponge cake pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7
Let the cake cool in the pan before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with a honey glaze before serving.
