Honey Tips
How Honey is Made
To make honey, bees drop the collected nectar into the honeycomb and then evaporate it by fanning their wings.
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°. In an electric mixer, blend first 4 ingredients. Add egg yolks and beat until smooth. In another bowl combine the next seven ingredients. Gradually, add this flour mixture to the batter, beating well. In a medium bowl, beat the egg whites with ¼ teaspoon salt and cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gently fold beaten egg whites and sliced almonds into the batter. Pour batter into a greased and floured 10" tube pan. Bake 1 hour or until done. Remove from oven, cool 20 minutes in pan. Loosen sides of cake from pan, if necessary and invert onto wire rack. Cool on rack.
