Simple Honey Cake Recipe! 🍯

Honey cake

Ingredients:

• Unsalted butter (melted) – 1/2 cup

• Raw honey – 1/2 cup

• Large eggs – 2

• Brown sugar – 1/2 cup

• All-purpose flour – 1 cup

• Salt – 1/4 tsp

• Baking powder – 1 tsp

• Vanilla extract – 1 tsp

• Orange juice – 2 tbsp (optional)

• Orange zest – 1 to 2 tsp (optional)

• Black coffee – 2 tsp (optional)

• Nuts of your choice (optional)

  
  

Method:

• Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease your loaf pan with butter.

• In a large bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: melted butter, honey, eggs, brown sugar, milk (if using), vanilla extract, orange juice, orange zest, and coffee.

• In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, salt, and baking powder.

• Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Be careful not to overmix.

• Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. If desired, sprinkle nuts of your choice on top.

• Bake for 30–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

• (Optional) Drizzle honey on top of the cake after baking for an extra honey flavor.

• Allow the cake to cool slightly before serving.

  
  

Notes:

• The orange zest and juice add a lovely citrusy freshness to the cake. I'd definitely recommend including them if you enjoy that flavor.

• You can customize this recipe with your favorite nuts, such as walnuts or almonds.
