Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 g All-purpose flour
- 150 g Brown sugar
- 250 ml Milk
- 2 tsp Baking powder
- 2 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 tsp Ground cloves
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 1 tbsp Melted butter (optional, for greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F). Lightly grease a 9-inch loaf pan with melted butter or line with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, and salt. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Gradually add the milk to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously until smooth and fully incorporated.
Stir in the honey and mix thoroughly. The batter will be relatively thick, but ensure there are no lumps.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth out the surface with a spatula.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once baked, 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.
Slice the cake and serve. It’s delicious on its own, or you can spread a thin layer of butter on the slices for extra indulgence.
