Step-by-Step Instructions for Honey Cake
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x13 glass pan with nonstick spray.
  2. Whisk together honey, egg yolks, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Sift together sugar, flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
  4. Beat the unsalted butter into the dry mix until it resembles coarse crumbs, then add honey and mix until fluffy.
  5. Gradually add the egg yolk mixture into the flour mixture in two parts, mixing well.
  6. Whip egg whites until soft peaks form, then add sugar until stiff peaks are achieved.
  7. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the cake batter until no streaks remain.
  8. Pour the batter into the greased pan and bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
