Ingredients

  • 11 ounces soft goat cheese at room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • Zest and juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 vanilla bean scraped
  • 6 large eggs separated
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • Fresh berries and powdered sugar for garnish

Instructions

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-inch round cake pan and dust with granulated sugar, pouring off the excess.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the goat cheese with the honey, lemon juice, lemon zest and vanilla and beat at medium speed until smooth. Beat in the egg yolks, 2 at a time, incorporating them completely before adding the next batch.
  • Beat in the flour at low speed.
  • In another bowl, using clean beaters, beat the egg whites until firm but not dry. Beat one-third of the whites into the goat cheese mixture, then gently fold in the remaining whites.
  • Spoon the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 40 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Invert the cake onto a large plate. Arrange the berries on top and sift confectioners' sugar over all. Cut the cake into wedges and serve.
