Ingredients

• 170 grams unsalted butter
• 200 grams granulated sugar
• 60 ml honey
• 3 eggs
• 200 grams all-purpose flour
• 50 grams almond flour
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 120 ml whole milk
• 1 lemon lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 40 grams sliced almonds
• 100 grams powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons extra honey for drizzle

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a round 9-inch cake pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper for easier removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes using a hand or stand mixer.

Step 3

Drizzle in the honey and mix well until incorporated.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until the batter is smooth.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three parts, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined.

Step 7

Gently fold in the lemon zest and lemon juice for a fragrant and zesty flavor.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Sprinkle the sliced almonds evenly on top of the batter.

Step 10

Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 11

While the cake is cooling in the pan for 10 minutes, prepare a quick glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons of honey.

Step 12

Transfer the cake to a wire rack, then drizzle the glaze evenly over the top while the cake is still slightly warm.

Step 13

Let the cake cool completely before slicing and serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
