Method

Cake Base

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Cream Butter and Sugar

    In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Eggs and Honey

    Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the honey and vanilla extract.

  5. 5

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

  6. 6

    Bake

    Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  7. 7

    Cool

    Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto wire racks to cool completely.

Honey Meringue

  1. 8

    Prepare Meringue

    In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites until they form soft peaks.

  2. 9

    Add Sugar

    Gradually add the granulated sugar while continuing to beat until the mixture holds stiff peaks.

  3. 10

    Incorporate Honey

    Drizzle in the honey while still beating until fully incorporated and the mixture is glossy.

  4. 11

    Bake Meringue

    Spread the meringue over the cooled cake layers and place under a broiler on low heat for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Watch carefully to avoid burning.

Quince Filling

  1. 12

    Cook Quince

    In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped quince, sugar, water, and cinnamon stick. Bring to a boil over medium heat.

  2. 13

    Simmer

    Reduce heat to low and simmer until the quince is tender, about 20-25 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.

  3. 14

    Strain

    Remove the cinnamon stick and strain any excess liquid. Mash the quince slightly to create a chunky filling.

Beeswax Ice Cream

  1. 15

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium saucepan, combine heavy cream, milk, sugar, beeswax, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.

  2. 16

    Heat Mixture

    Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring until the sugar and beeswax are fully dissolved. Do not let it boil.

  3. 17

    Chill

    Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

  4. 18

    Churn Ice Cream

    Churn the chilled mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Transfer to a container and freeze until firm.
