Baking Instructions

1

Prepare the Oven and Pans

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

2

Mix Dry Ingredients

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

3

Cream Butter and Honey

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and honey together until light and fluffy.

4

Add Eggs and Vanilla

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

5

Combine Mixtures

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the honey mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.

6

Bake the Cakes

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

7

Cool and Assemble

Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn them out onto wire racks to cool completely. Once cool, layer the cakes with your choice of frosting or serve plain.
