Honeycomb Candy

baking soda (sifted)

white granulated sugar

honey

fine sea salt

vanilla extract

I am the laziest of humans when it comes to sifting ingredients but sifting the baking soda is really important. Be sure to do that before you start this project.

This recipe goes very quickly so gather all of your ingredients and supplies. Line a baking sheet with parchment and have it nearby. A silicon spatula also comes in handy with this recipe.

In a large pot (I like to use a 5-quart Dutch oven), pour in the sugar, honey and salt. Heat the sugar mixture to 295 degrees F, about 3 minutes, stirring it with a silicon spatula to ensure even caramelization. During this time it'll turn an autumn-like brown.

Turn off the heat and then immediately add mix the vanilla extract and baking soda. The mixture will foam up quite a bit, continue stirring until the baking soda completely dissolves. Quickly pour the honeycomb mixture onto a sheet of parchment. Allow it to cool completely before touching it, about 2 minutes.

I waited about 5 additional minutes before attempting to break it apart. I really wanted to make sure it was set. Break the honeycomb apart and transfer to an airtight container. Depending on where you live, the moisture can set in and make it a lot less crisp.

This vibrant green honeycomb cake gets its color from Pandan Extract. This traditional Vietnamese cake is known as Bánh Bò Nướng. This cake has a spongy, soft texture, and lightly sweetened. The pandan leaf extract is nutty and pairs nicely with the rich coconut milk and coconut shavings on top!

Pandan Honeycomb Cake (Bánh Bò Nướng)

water

unsweetened, full fat coconut milk

tsp Pandan Extract

eggs

coconut oil

tapioca starch

tbsp rice flour

sugar

2½ tsp baking powder

cooking spray (to grease the cake pan)

coconut (optional topping)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F / 180 C.

Crack eggs and beat lightly with a fork. Do not overbeat otherwise your cake won’t have the beautiful honeycomb texture. 

Add in coconut oil, water, coconut milk and pandan extract and mix until combined. 

Mix all the dry ingredients together. 

Add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture and mix slowly until fully combined.

Grease the bundt tin with cooking spray and pour the prepared batter to the pan. 

Bake for 50-55 minutes. Turn off the oven but keep cake in the oven with the oven door partially open for 20 minutes.

Remove the cake from the form and let it cool. Top with shredded coconut (optional) and serve.

This delicious Honey Cake is flavored with toasted almond flour, lemon zest, and a hint of nutmeg, and drenched in either whisky sauce or honey glaze. The cake&#x27;s texture is both light and hearty, and PERFECT for soaking up all the delicious sauce.

Baking this cake in a honeycomb pan makes it super obvious in a fun way that it&#x27;s a honey cake and makes for easy slicing and serving.

Prepare the honeycomb pan: spray each cavity of the pan with non-stick spray or use a pastry brush to coat each cavity with melted butter. Use a flour sifter or fine mesh strainer to sprinkle flour over the pan. Shake the pan, and tap on the sides of the pan to distribute the flour. You want to make sure the bottom and sides of each honeycomb cavity has a light coating of flour. (see photo above)

Once cool, spoon honey glaze or whisky sauce over the cake, coating it completely. The texture of this cake is meant to soak up the sauce, so after pouring some sauce over the cake, go back over it a time or two to ensure it's well coated.
