Coconut Cardamom Tea Cake

Instructions

1. 1

   Heat the oven to 175°C/350°F. Grease and line a 20-cm round cake pan.

2. 2

   Whisk together the pastry flour, coconut powder, cardamom, and baking powder.

3. 3

   In another bowl, whisk the eggs, honey, oil, vanilla, and milk or water until smooth. Do not taste the raw batter, dear.

4. 4

   Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients just until combined. Overmixing makes a cake heavy.

5. 5

   Pour the batter into the pan and smooth the top. Bake for 32–38 minutes, until the center is fully set and a skewer comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. If wet batter remains, bake in 5-minute intervals until cooked through; do not serve raw batter.

6. 6

   Cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a rack and cool completely before slicing.
