Wash lemon hot, rub dry. Finely grate the peel. Halve lemon and squeeze juice. Whisk butter, sugar and 1 pinch of salt with the whisk of the hand mixer until white-creamy. Stir in the eggs one after the other.
Mix flour, baking powder and almonds. Add lemon juice and zest to the butter-sugar-egg mixture and mix to a smooth dough.
Thoroughly grease a springform pan with a tube bottom insert (26 cm Ø) and dust with flour. Pour in the dough and smooth it down. In a preheated oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/ convection oven: 150 °C/ gas: see
manufacturer) bake for about 40 minutes. Leave to cool in the mould for approx. 15 minutes. Loosen the edge of the springform pan and carefully turn it over onto a cake rack. Let it cool down.
Pour the cream and honey into a tall mixing bowl and whip until creamy with the whisks of the hand mixer. Arrange the cake on a plate and dust with icing sugar. Add the cream.
