Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cups Sugar
- 0.75 cups Honey
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups Whole milk (or buttermilk for tanginess)
- 2 tablespoons Optional: Powdered sugar for dusting
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 all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the honey to the butter mixture and beat until fully incorporated.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully blended before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Reduce the mixer speed to low and alternately add the dry ingredient mixture and milk to the wet ingredients, beginning and ending with the dry mixture. 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 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake 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 slightly.
Serve the cake warm. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar before serving for a touch of sweetness and decoration.
