Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Honey
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cups Whisky
- 0.5 cups Whole milk
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round or square cake pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the honey to the butter-sugar mixture and mix until fully incorporated.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Slowly add the whisky and mix until combined. The batter may look slightly curdled; this is normal.
On low speed, alternate adding the dry ingredients and the milk to the wet mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until 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 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then remove it from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar, if desired, before serving.
