Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Honey
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Milk
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
Step 2
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter until smooth using a hand or stand mixer. Add the honey and brown sugar, and beat until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined after each addition. Be careful not to 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 35-40 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 the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Slice and serve as is, or drizzle with additional honey for an extra touch of sweetness.
