1 Preheat the oven to 150ºC.

egg yolks, honey, orange zest,

juice and olive oil in a large bowl;

whisk until well combined.

2 Sift the flour, baking powder

and cinnamon together. Gently

fold flour mixture and almond

meal into the egg mixture.

3 Beat egg whites in a separate

clean bowl until stiff peaks form.

Gently fold the egg whites, in

batches, into cake batter until

just combined. Pour the cake

batter into prepared tin. Bake

for 30–35 minutes, or until golden

and a skewer inserted into the

centre comes out clean.

4 Meanwhile, make the syrup:

Combine all ingredients in a small

saucepan and bring to the boil

over a medium heat, stirring to

dissolve the honey. Reduce heat

and simmer until reduced by half.

5 Transfer cake to a wire rack and

brush the top of cake with warm

syrup. Scatter with almonds. Serve

warm or at room temperature.
