Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, softened
• 0.5 cups Sugar
• 0.75 cups Honey
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cups Whole milk (or buttermilk for tanginess)
• 2 tablespoons Optional: Powdered sugar for dusting

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the honey to the butter mixture and beat until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully blended before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 6

Reduce the mixer speed to low and alternately add the dry ingredient mixture and milk to the wet ingredients, beginning and ending with the dry mixture. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 9

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 slightly.

Step 10

Serve the cake warm. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar before serving for a touch of sweetness and decoration.
