Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cups Honey
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar, packed
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Milk
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, Cajun seasoning, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, honey, and brown sugar together until light and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar for garnish before serving.
Slice and enjoy your Cajun Honey Cake with a cup of tea or coffee!
