Cake Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

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

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Cream Butter and Sugar

    In another bowl, cream the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the honey and mix well.

  4. 4

    Add Eggs and Vanilla

    Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.

  5. 5

    Combine Mixtures

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

  6. 6

    Bake the Cake

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

  7. 7

    Cool the Cake

    Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
