- 2 immense eggs, at room temperature
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1½ tsp lemon extract
- four immense egg whites
- 1¼ cup granulated sugar
- three sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
- ¼ cup raw honey (I ragged raw due to the I feel the style is extra pronounced, however any honey is gorgeous)

Add the dry elements and beat on medium velocity until fully blended, about 2 minutes. Divide batter evenly amongst lined pans, filling about ⅔ beefy.
