INGREDIENTS :

Dry Ingredients

   ▢ 1 cup cake flour
   ▢ ⅞ cup white sugar - divided
   ▢ ½ teaspoon baking powder
   ▢ ¼ teaspoon salt
   ▢ ½ teaspoon cream of tartar - (optional)

Wet Ingredients

   ▢ 6 eggs - whites and yolks separated
   ▢ ⅓ cup vegetable oil
   ▢ 2 Tablespoons water
   ▢ 2 teaspoons honey
   ▢ ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

INSTRUCTIONS :

Beat Egg Whites

   Preheat oven to 350° F. Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat egg whites with the cream of tartar (if using) on high until it becomes foamy. Next, add ⅓ of the amount of sugar and beat on high until firm peaks form. When lifting the whisk, look for the tip to drop slightly. Set aside.
   ⅞ cup white sugar, 6 eggs, ½ teaspoon cream of tartar

Egg Yolk Mixture

   🔸  In a large bowl, add the egg yolks, the remaining ⅔ sugar, salt, water, honey, and vanilla. Beat on high until fluffy, pale yellow ribbons form when lifting the whisk. The ribbon should remain for 3 to 4 seconds. Add half the egg whites to the egg yolk mixture and fold gently.
   🔸 ⅞ cup white sugar, ¼ teaspoon salt, 6 eggs, 2 Tablespoons water, 2 teaspoons honey, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Add Dry Ingredients and Oil

   🔸  Make batter: Sift the flour and baking powder into the egg yolk mixture in three parts, gently folding after each time. Next add the vegetable oil. Tip: To help incorporate the oil better, mix a few spoonfuls of the batter with the oil before adding.
   🔸1 cup cake flour, ½ teaspoon baking powder, ⅓ cup vegetable oil
   🔸Add the remaining ½ of the egg whites to the batter and fold gently until well combined, taking care not to deflate the batter.

Bake :

   🔸  Line two 6 inch cake pans with parchment paper along the sides and bottom. Pour the batter and bang the pan twice to remove large air bubbles. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the crust is golden brown with a raised center, about 27 to 30 minutes. See Notes section for additional baking times.
  🔸 Remove all the parchment paper and allow to cool completely on a cooling rack before slicing. Use a cake leveler for even slices. Serve with whipped cream and fruit or make a layered cake. Enjoy!
