One-Pot Honeycomb Cake

Preparation

1. Step 1

   Preheat the oven to 350°F with a rack in the center. Place a 9-inch Bundt or cake pan in the oven.

   Step 2

   In a heavy saucepan, add the tapioca flour, rice flour, coconut milk, sugar, coconut water or water, miso, pandan extract, optional vanilla extract, and melted butter and whisk to combine. While continuously whisking, heat over medium heat until all the sugar dissolves and the mixture is homogeneous. Rest for 5 minutes.

   Step 3

   Then crack the eggs directly into the saucepan. Cut each yolk in halves or quarters using clean scissors. Whisk the mixture gently until all the eggs are barely incorporated. Add the baking powder and cream of tartar and whisk until just combined. Some lumps are okay.

   Step 4

   You’ll need to work quickly now. Using oven mitts, remove the preheated pan from the oven. Generously grease the entire interior of the pan with cooking spray or neutral oil. With a fine-mesh strainer, carefully sieve all the batter directly into the pan. Use a spatula to press and direct the batter through the strainer as needed. The pan is still hot, so while still using an oven mitt, swirl the batter in the pan so it’s evenly distributed in the pan.

   Step 5

   Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, until the top is golden brown. Let the cake rest in the oven for 5 minutes. Then with the oven door slightly ajar, keep the cake in the oven for an additional 15 minutes. The cake will deflate a little.

   Step 6

   Cool completely at room temperature. Dust with the optional confectioners’ sugar or coconut flakes or both. Slice and serve.
