  • Total Time: 55-60 minutes
  • Yield: 8-10 slices

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup honey (preferably wild or locally sourced)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • Optional: crushed nuts or dried fruits for added texture

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until creamy and fluffy. Add the honey and continue to beat until well combined.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Mix in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing gently after each addition.
  6. If desired, fold in crushed nuts or dried fruits for extra texture and flavor.
  7. Pour the batter into your prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. In a small saucepan, warm 1/4 cup honey with 2 tablespoons of water over low heat.
  11. Once the cake is completely cooled, brush the honey glaze generously over the top and sides.
  12. Let the glaze set for about 20 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Optional crushed nuts or dried fruits can be added to enhance flavor and texture.
  • Ensure the cake is fully cooled before applying the honey glaze to prevent melting.
  • The honey glaze can be made thicker or thinner depending on preference by adjusting water quantity.
