  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the honey buttercream frosting:
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons heavy cream or milk
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or line them with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and honey until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until well combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
  9. While the cakes are cooling, prepare the honey buttercream frosting. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating well after each addition.
  10. Stir in the honey and vanilla extract, then gradually add the heavy cream or milk until the frosting reaches a smooth and spreadable consistency.
  11. Once the cakes are completely cooled, place one layer on a serving plate or cake stand. Spread a layer of honey buttercream frosting on top, then place the second layer on top. Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting.
  12. Decorate the cake with honey drizzle, edible flowers, or other decorations of your choice.
