Ingredients

To create this delightful Honey Bee Sugar Cake, you will need the following ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup honey
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup buttermilk

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your own Honey Bee Sugar Cake:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
Add the honey to the butter and sugar mixture, mixing until well combined.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Once baked, allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cake is completely cool, you may frost it or serve it plain, garnishing with honey or edible flowers for a decorative touch.

Enjoy every bite of this delightful Honey Bee Sugar Cake, perfect for sharing with friends and family or savoring on a quiet afternoon. Happy baking!
