Malaysian honeycomb cake also known as Ant’s Nest cake is delicious. It reminds me of sticky toffee pudding, but in cake form.

The ingredients are relatively simple and if you don’t use out of date baking soda (!) the ant’s nest part of the cake might be more impressive. I was also very surprised about how springy the cake is, its like a fluffy pillow.

We warmed our portions up and served them with ice cream. Other suggestions include caramel sauce, up to you.

Thank you to Jules Food for the recipe.

Steps

1
Done

Caramelize the sugar until it turns a dark golden brown. This means the sugar alone goes into the pan. Keep a very close eye so as not to burn it around the edges as i almost did. Don't hurry it and don't worry...it will slowly melt and turn into a dark golden liquid caramel.

2
Done

SLOWLY and CAREFULLY pour the water into the caramel. This will spatter and boil and seize up for the first minute or so...not to worry, it will return to a this liquid syrup. Remove from heat. add the butter and set aside to cool.

Preheat the oven to 350F USING BOTTOM ELEMENT ONLY and grease a 9 inch round cake pan.
