Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, softened
• 0.75 cups Honey
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar, packed
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Milk
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, Cajun seasoning, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, honey, and brown sugar together until light and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Once cooled, dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar for garnish before serving.

Step 10

Slice and enjoy your Cajun Honey Cake with a cup of tea or coffee!
