Fluffy Capilano Honey Birthday Cake

Ingredients

1. Preheat oven to 170°C (150°C fan-forced). Grease and line two 20cm round cake tins.
2. Combine butter and honey in a microwave safe bowl and microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring between each, until the butter is melted and combined with the honey.
3. Whisk in milk and egg yolks until combined, then add almond meal and whisk again. Sift in the self-raising flour, cinnamon and baking powder and mix to combine. Using an electric mixer, whisk the egg whites to stiff peaks then add to the cake mixture and fold through until just combined.
4. Divide mixture evenly between the two cake pans and bake for 30 minutes until a skewer inserted into center comes out clean. Remove from oven and stand for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a cool rack and cool completely.
5. Using an electric mixer, beat thickened cream until stiff peaks form, being careful not to over-beat as it will split. Spread half of cream over one of the cooled cakes, then place the second cake on top and top with the remaining thickened cream. To serve, drizzle with Capilano honey.
6. Storage: Keep refrigerated in an airtight container 2-3 days.
