PREPARATION:
- The quantities of ingredients for 2 people (450g of dough) are for a 20cm pan (it can be a baking tray, or a pan suitable for chiffon cake or with a hole in the centre, very high)
- Separate the recipe ingredients and utensils.
- Grease the pan, just the bottom, with oil
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Sift the dry dough ingredients (wheat flour, chocolate powder, brown sugar, salt, yeast and spices) directly into the mixer bowl.
- Separate the eggs into 2 bowls. Sift the egg yolks into the cake batter. Place the egg whites, preferably in a bowl for the meringue.
- Wash the lemon to use in the meringue.
PREPARATION:
Honey Bread Cake (Chiffon method):
- In a bowl mix the liquid ingredients (sifted egg yolks, water, honey and vanilla essence).
- To the dry ingredients in the bowl of the stand mixer, with the paddle attachment, on low speed, first gradually add the oil.
- Then, add the liquid ingredients, in a thin, steady stream – keep wiping down the side of the food processor bowl, to make sure everything is well mixed.
- Beat until you obtain a homogeneous mass, but without beating too much.
- Remove the bowl from the mixer and set it aside.
Honey bread cake – meringue (chiffon method):
- In another bowl, beat the egg whites until soft.
- Add the sugar and lemon drops and beat until stiff, shiny peaks form.
- Mix the meringue with the mass of dry and liquid ingredients, without beating, with a spatula, moving from bottom to top, to preserve the volume.
Honey bread cake – cooking:
- Transfer the cake mixture to the greased pan and place it in the oven preheated to 180°C.
- Bake for about 30-40 minutes (depending on the pan used and the oven), or until cooked, using a toothpick test: insert it into the center of the cake to check if it comes out clean.
- Turn off the oven, remove the pan and shake it slightly to see if it has loosened.
- Let it cool a little in the pan.
- To unmold, loosen the edges with a small knife and invert the cold cake onto a plate. If you use the chiffon mold, also pass the knife along the bottom.
FINALIZATION AND ASSEMBLY:
- Download the gingerbread cake to the serving dish.
- Serve in small pieces (slices or squares), dusted with a little chocolate powder (optional).
