Instructions
- Remove phyllo from its package, separate each phyllo from the other, and lay on your kitchen counter to air-dry for 30 minutes. NOTE: The sheets don't have to lay flat (you can leave them ruffled) as they will be torn into pieces later on.
- Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs to get a bit foamy. Add the Greek yogurt, and whisk to combine.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together 100 grams / 3.5 oz of the honey along with the oil, baking powder, vanilla extract, and the lemon zest. Then incorporate into the egg mixture.
- Preheat oven to 160°C / 320°F.
- Take the phyllo and tear it into small pieces with your hands and start adding it into the batter. Toss each piece of phyllo right into the batter, giving a good stir as you go, so the pieces won't stick together. Keep doing this until you mix all the phyllo into the batter. NOTE: If phyllo sheets aren't separated from each other they won't bake properly.
- Grease a round 26 cm / 10-inch round pan with some oil or cooking spray. And add the cake batter.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes until deep-golden on top.
- While the cake is baking, add remaining honey in a saucepan along with 220 ml water and the lemon juice. Whisk to combine and then heat over high heat. Once it starts to boil, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 5-10 minutes until it starts to thicken a bit. Remove from heat and set aside. NOTE: Make sure you use a large enough saucepan so the honey won't spill out of it when it starts to boil.
- Once the cake is baked pour the hot honey syrup all over using a ladle. It may look like a lot but it will soak it all up slowly.
- Let cake reach room temperature before refrigerating.
- Cut into 10-12 pieces and serve!
