Ingredients
- 200 grams Honey
- 150 grams Unsalted butter
- 75 grams Brown sugar
- 225 grams All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground ginger
- 2 units Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F). Lightly grease and line a 20cm (8-inch) round cake tin with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, gently heat the honey, butter, and brown sugar over low heat until melted and combined. Set aside to cool slightly.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and ginger. Mix well to evenly distribute the spices.
Step 4
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add the eggs and milk and begin to mix gently.
Step 5
Gradually pour in the cooled honey mixture, stirring constantly, until you have a smooth batter.
Step 6
Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin and smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 45–50 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Step 8
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Slice and serve as is, or with a drizzle of extra honey for an added touch of sweetness.
