In bowl, sift flour, baking powder and salt; set aside.
In another bowl, beat Egg whites until stiff.
With electric mixer, beat Egg yolks; gradually blend in sugar and almond powder.
Cream mixture until smooth, about 5 minutes.
Add honey (and almond extract).
Mix together milk, baking soda and cooled melted butter; add to Egg yolk mixture.
Gradually add sifted flour mixture.
When batter is thoroughly blended, quickly but gently fold in Egg whites.

Steaming
Before mixing, bring water in steamer to boil.
