Ingredients

Cake 

  • 1 tbsp butter, melted
  • 1 tbsp plain flour
  • 3 eggs 
  • ¾ cup vegetable oil 
  • 1 ½ tbsp finely grated lemon rind 
  • 120ml lemon juice 
  • 540g (1 ½ cups) Capilano Pure Honey 
  • 1 ½ cups Greek yoghurt 
  • 450g (3 cups) self-raising flour, sifted

 

Honeyed Macadamias 

 

Lemon Vanilla Icing 

  • 225g (1 ½ cups) icing sugar, sifted 
  • 1 ½ tbsp lemon juice 
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract 
  • Zest curls from 1 lemon
  1. Preheat oven to 160°C (fan forced). Grease a 22 cm diameter Bundt tin liberally with melted butter then dust with flour. Do not use cooking spray.
  2. Combine eggs, oil, lemon rind & juice, honey and yoghurt in a large bowl. Add sifted flour and fold until well incorporated. Pour batter into the prepared tin and bake for 45 minutes, or until an inserted skewer comes out clean. Cool the cake in the tin for 10 minutes before turning out onto a rack to cool completely.
  3. Honeyed Macadamias: Preheat oven to in a 175°C (fan forced). Combine macadamias, honey, cinnamon and salt. Scatter onto a small tray lined with baking paper, ensuring nuts don’t touch. Bake for 5 minutes until lightly golden. Cool macadamias on a plate, then roughly chop, leaving some whole.
  4. Air Fryer: Follow the above method to prepare the macadamias. Preheat the air fryer to 160°C. Lay a piece of baking paper in the basket and arrange the macadamias on the paper, ensuring none of the nuts are touching each other. Air fry the macadamias for 3 minutes, give the basket a shake, then air fry for a further 4 minutes. Cool the macadamias on a plate, then roughly chop before using.
  5. Icing: In a small bowl combine icing sugar, lemon juice and vanilla, mix until smooth. Spread over cooled cake and finish with macadamias and lemon zest curls.
  6. Tips & Tricks • Prepare the honeyed nuts while the cake is baking in the oven. Cooled nuts will keep up to two weeks in an airtight container. • Use ground cardamom in the macadamias rather than cinnamon for a different flavour.
