3. In another bowl beat the eggs until creamy ( around a minute), slowly add the sugar and beat until the sugar is well dissolved and the mixture is creamy.

TIP 1
1. Do not over mix the batter after adding honey as it can tend to harden the cake / muffins.
TIP 2
2. Using an electric whisk is not necessary, a hand whisk should do.
TIP 3
3. Original recipe calls for canola oil but I used refined oil.
TIP 4
4. I used regular honey, make sure it is brown in colour. Using coffee in this cake does not add coffee flavour but enhances the flavour of honey in the cake.
TIP 5
5. You can use nuts/ raisins in this recipe but make sure to roll them in plain flour before adding them to the batter.
TIP 6
6. To avoid the honey sticking to the measuring cup use oil to pour in the same cup before measuring honey, this way you will not waste a drop of honey / oil ;-)
