Catalan Honey Cake Or Coc De Mel

  1. Preheat oven to 170C / 340F and grease a metalic tin. I used a 9inch round cake pan.
  2. Beat in the eggs and sugar in a large bowl with and electric mixer. Add in the milk and oil, mix well. Use a sieve to add the flour and baking powder to the bowl, mixing slowly until well combined. Pour the batter into the tin.
  3. Before putting it in the oven, grab some flour with your hands and sprinkle it on top, until the batter is covered. Follow that by drizzling some olive oil on top of the flour layer. Repeat the flour-oil combo 2 more times.
  4. Pop the pan on the medium rack of the oven and bake for 40-45min. until the top it's starting to brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out dry. The browner you let the top get, the crunchier the top layer will be.
  5. Right after taking the cake out of the oven, when it's still piping hot, drizzle the honey on top until completely covered. I used half the contents of a 500g jar, add omre or less according to taste. The honey will sink through the flour-olive layer, giving it a beautiful and tasty top.
  6. Cool the cake, slice and serve!
