To make this honeycomb cake, you’ll have to move and work quickly. Please read through the recipe first and gather your ingredients before you start.

Subtle Asian Baking Community Member Joedy Tran recommends using a blender to mix the batter. After all the sugar dissolves in the saucepan, transfer the mixture to a blender. Add the eggs and baking powder last and blend until just combined. This way you can skip using the strainer. Thank you, Joedy, for helping me perfect this recipe!
