How to Make Flourless Honey Almond Cake

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray. Line the bottom with parchment paper, ensuring it extends slightly over the edges for easy removal, and spray the paper with cooking spray.
In a food processor or blender, finely grind 1 cup whole almonds.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 4 large egg yolks, 1/2 cup honey, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
Add the ground almonds to the yolk mixture and beat on low speed until just combined.
In a separate clean, dry bowl, beat 4 large egg whites with an electric mixer on medium speed until very foamy, white, and doubled in volume (approximately 1-2 minutes). Be careful not to overbeat; the whites should be foamy but not stiff.
Gently fold the egg whites into the almond mixture using a rubber spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 28-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the cake is golden brown.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Run a thin knife around the edge of the pan to loosen the cake.
Carefully remove the sides of the springform pan.
Let the cake cool completely on a wire rack.
Once completely cool, gently slide a spatula between the cake and the parchment paper to remove the cake from the bottom.
Transfer the cake to a serving platter.
Drizzle the top with honey and sprinkle with sliced almonds before serving.
