I imagined this to be light and fluffy, but it was dense and dry. And I DID whip the egg whites until they were stiff. I checked on them after 38 minutes and they were already overcooked and bad. I definitely consider myself to be a good baker, but this recipe failed me. I was so excited for these honey cakes and they were so not what I was expecting! I'm not saying that this is a bad recipe, but it really just didn't live up to my expectations.
I would suggest to use a lot less nuts.

I made bread crumbs in the food processor out of some fresh bread I had baked the day before. The recipe came out perfect. I used 8 oz. brioche tins so I reduced the cooking time by 20 mins. Thank you for this yummy recipe. It's a keeper for sure. :

I thought this recipe was unique in that it didn't use flour, so I had to try it. I didn't use the brioche pans, so I just left it in the oven for about 20 minutes. I came out so good. My kids are picky eaters and they loved it. I whipped some heavy cream with 3 tblspns of powdered sugar and a touch of vanilla. It was the perfect compliment. I love Symon.
