Spiced Honey Cake Recipe

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

Mix Dry Ingredients

In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt.

Cream Butter and Sugar

In another large bowl, beat the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

Add Honey and Eggs

Mix in the honey, followed by the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Combine Mixtures

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.

Bake the Cake

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool the Cake

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Make the Sauce

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the brown sugar and heavy cream until it thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.

Add Bourbon

Remove from heat and stir in the bourbon and vanilla extract. Let cool slightly before serving.

Whip the Crème Fraîche

In a bowl, whisk together the crème fraîche, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
