Nori, the Japanese name for various edible seaweed species, is commonly used as a wrap for sushi and onigiri. It is also a common garnish or flavoring in noodle preparations and soups. Nori is a source of iron, calcium, vitamin A, B, C1, iodine, protein fiber, and carotene.

- Soak the seaweed, drain and set aside. Sift together the cake flour, baking powder and baking soda.
- Whisk the eggs, sugar, salt, and honey together. Add the flour mixture to the egg mixture. Mix until just combined.
- Add in melted shortening and seaweed to become the cake batter.
- Spoon the batter to the greased muffin cups or mini loaf pans, 80% full and bake at 175C/350F for 20-25 minutes.
