Honey Sponge Cake with Creamy Honey & Passionfruit

This recipe is a delightful twist on a classic family favourite, inspired by Jodie's Great Aunt's Honey Sponge Roll. Traditionally, this sponge cake was rolled up with a light whipped cream filling, perfect for sharing with beekeepers during a visit to their hives. This version elevates the humble sponge into a stunning cake topped with our newest Bee Creamy Honey & Passionfruit.

Ingredients

  • 4 eggs
  • 1/3 cup caster sugar
  • 1/2 cup cornflour
  • 2 tbsp plain flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp mixed spice
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp Beechworth Honey (warmed)
  • 500 ml thickened cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence
  • 300 g Bee Creamy Honey & Passionfruit
  • 3 passionfruits (pulp)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 170°C.
  • Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until firm peaks form.
  • Add the caster sugar and beat until sugar dissolves. Beat in egg yolks. Sift the cornflour, plain flour, baking powder, and spices three times. Use a metal spoon to fold flour into the egg mixture.
  • Fold the warmed honey gently into the mixture.
  • Divide the batter evenly between two greased and lined 20cm cake tins. Bake for 20 minutes or until the cake has risen, turned golden and springs back when gently touched. Run a knife around the edge of the cake and release the springform tin. Immediately turn the cake out onto a cooling rack. Allow it to cool.
  • While the cake is cooling, whip the cream. Add the cream to a large bowl with the vanilla essence and whip on high speed until it forms stiff peaks.
  • Once the cake is cooled completely, spread a generous layer of Bee Creamy Honey & Passionfruit and then a thick layer of whipped cream. Stack the second cake on top and repeat with another layer of honey and whipped cream. Top with fresh passionfruit pulp before serving.
