# Guide to Cooking:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a cake pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
02 -
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, honey, olive oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
03 -
Add the almond flour, ground cinnamon, ground cardamom, salt, and baking soda to the wet mixture. Stir until a thick batter forms.
04 -
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly to ensure uniform baking.
05 -
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Test doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
06 -
While the cake bakes, combine honey, water, lemon juice, and a pinch of cinnamon in a saucepan. Heat gently over low heat until smooth and slightly thickened.
07 -
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack for further cooling.
08 -
Drizzle the warm honey syrup evenly over the cake, allowing it to absorb richly.
09 -
Sprinkle the chopped pistachios on top to add crunch and enhance presentation.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Use finely ground almond flour for optimal texture. Toast pistachios lightly before chopping to intensify their flavor. Adjust honey quantity in syrup to preferred sweetness.
