Ingredients

  • 2 fresh eggs
  • A small dash of salt
  • 70 grams of fine white sugar
  • 1 dollop of natural honey
  • 20 grams of creamy unsalted butter
  • 30 milliliters of fresh milk
  • 65 grams of plain flour finely sifted
  • 10 grams of pure cocoa powder without added sugar

For dusting (optional):

  • A sprinkling of icing sugar

Instructions

  • Begin by vigorously whisking together the eggs and a dash of salt in a sizeable mixing bowl until they reach a frothy consistency.
  • While continuously whisking, gradually sprinkle in the sugar and add the honey until the mixture takes on a light and airy form, significantly increasing in volume.
  • Melt the butter gently in a pan or in short bursts in the microwave. Mix the melted butter with the milk. Ensure this mixture is lukewarm, not hot.
  • Carefully fold the sifted flour and cocoa into the egg mixture. Do this gently to maintain the airiness of the batter.
  • Drizzle the butter and milk combination into the bowl, folding it through the batter with a light hand until it’s just combined and smooth.
  • Prepare a 22cm circular cake mold by fitting it with baking parchment.
  • Transfer the batter to the mold, leveling it delicately with a palette knife or the back of a spoon.
  • Set up a steam bath by filling a large pot with water to a level that won’t touch the cake mold. Bring the water to a gentle simmer.
  • Rest the mold on a steaming rack above the water. Make sure the pot is tightly covered with a lid. To avoid water from the lid dripping onto the cake, wrap the lid in a clean kitchen towel.
  • Allow the cake to steam over a steady medium flame for around 25 minutes. Check for doneness with a skewer—it should come out clean when the cake is ready.
  • Once done, carefully lift the mold from the steamer and let the cake cool down a bit before turning it out onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
  • If you choose, lightly dust the cake with icing sugar for a sweet finish.
  • To serve as a roll, spread a filling of your choice on the cake, roll it tightly, and then give it a final dusting of icing sugar.
