Eggs beaten with sugar (and honey), oil instead of butter, and flour sifted with baking powder, baking soda and spices folded in, sometimes with grated apples and nuts: honey cake for Rosh Hashanah and one-bowl cakes, and also a savory cake without sugar, with olives and cheese.
Preheat the oven to 170°C (340°F) and grease Pan 28 cm.
⚙ Preheating the OvenOven
💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
2
Whisk the eggs and sugar until smooth.

Add the oil and mix.

Sift the flour and baking powder, combine, add to the wet mixture and Fold gently, just until no dry flour remains.
⚙ FoldingSilicone spatula
💡Fold in the flour only until there are no pockets of dry flour: overmixing develops gluten, and the cake comes out dense.
💡Fold with a spatula, in broad strokes from the bottom up, and stop when there's no dry flour: vigorous mixing of a batter with flour develops gluten.
5
Pour into the pan.

💡Check by the cue (until…), not just the clock: every oven bakes a little differently.
