Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 170C and line the pan with parchment.

  2. 2

    Warm milk, honey, and butter until melted, then cool slightly.

  3. 3

    Warm eggs and sugar over a bain-marie, then whip until pale and voluminous.

  4. 4

    Fold in sifted flour in batches, then fold in the milk mixture and vanilla.

  5. 5

    Pour into the pan, tap out air bubbles, and bake for 40-45 minutes.

    Cool completely, wrap tightly, and rest overnight for a moister texture.

Tips

Use broad folding motions to avoid deflating the batter.
Resting for one day improves crumb and flavor.
