ASIAN HONEY CHIFFON CAKE (JAPANESE, TAIWANESE)
Since I was little, I've always had honey cake. It's the fluffiest, melt-in-your-mouth cake that has a nice scent of honey. It's usually baked in a rectangular tin (loaf tin), and once cooled, we put a glaze of clear jelly/apricot glaze on top for a glossy finish and served as simple slices, as anything else would overwhelm the delicate taste of honey.

Steps:
- Grease a loaf tin, and layer baking (waxed) paper into the tin, cut the corners so they lie flat against the tin.
- Preheat the oven to 150C / 300°F.
- Whisk together the 4 yolks and the 20g of caster sugar, slowly add in the honey until thick and pale. Whisk in the oil, then milk.
- Sift the flour, and fold in, rapidly and with big gestures, to the above mixture until the flour disappear.
- Use another oil-free water-free bowl, beat the eggs whites with cream of tartar / vinegar until soft peak. Beat in the 50g of sugar and continue to beat until stiff peak.
- Fold in 1/3 of the egg whites to the mixture, then fold in the rest just until even. Be mindful not to deflate the texture.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared tin, smooth the top, and bake for 40-50 minutes. Done when inserted skewer comes out clean.
- Turn out onto a wire wrack and cool before glazing with clear jelly or apricot sauce. (I never really got around to that stage as it's gone by then).
- Enjoy!
- p.s. I have made this into cup cakes and it is very popular at parties!

[email protected]This cake was just okay. It was a bit too sweet for my taste, and the texture was a bit dense. I probably wouldn't make this cake again.
