Prepare the Cake Layers
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. Cream Butter and Sugar
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add Honey and Eggs
Add honey to the butter mixture, followed by the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
5. Combine Mixtures
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
6. Bake the Layers
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Cool the Cakes
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto wire racks to cool completely.
