Cook’s Tip #1: Do not forget to add some salt if you are using unsalted butter.
Cook’s Tip #2: When mixing the egg yolks with sugar, make sure that your sugar has been dissolved.
Cook’s Tip #3: A darker shade of honey and brown sugar will result in a deeper color of this simple honey cake.
Cook’s Tip #4: Tap the cake pan on top of your counter before placing it in the oven to remove bubbles from your cake batter. You will not remove all the bubbles, but this trick will surely lessen them.
Cook’s Tip #5: The lower part of the oven is the best place to bake this honey cake. It ensures that your sliced almonds will not get too dark too soon
Variation #1: Fennel seeds ground into powder are a good substitute for anise seeds. If you can only find anise seeds, you need to ground them to use in this recipe.
Variation #2: You can replace brown sugar with regular white sugar, but keep in mind that it will change your cake color.
