Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• ½ cup milk
• ⅓ cup honey
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ¼ cup honey (for syrup)
• 2 tbsp water (for syrup)

How to Make Honey Butter Cake Slice

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the honey and vanilla extract.
5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the flour mixture, mixing until just combined.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
7. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
8. While the cake is baking, prepare the honey syrup by combining ¼ cup of honey and 2 tablespoons of water in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until combined and warmed through. Remove from heat and set aside.
9. Once the cake is done, let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Drizzle the warm honey syrup over the cooled cake before slicing and serving.
