Honey Butter Cake

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (625 ml)
  • 2 1/2 tsp baking powder (12.5 ml)
  • 1/2 tsp salt (2.5 ml)
  • 1/2 cup honey (125 ml)
  • 1 cup buttermilk (250 ml)
  • 1 tsp vanilla (5 ml)
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (250 ml)
  • 2 cups granulated sugar (500 ml)
  • 4 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon (2.5 ml)
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg (2.5 ml)
  • 1/2 tsp ginger (2.5 ml)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 175 C (350 F.
  • Line 3, 6” x 3” round cake pans baking pans with parchment paper.
  • Sift flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl and set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the honey, buttermilk and vanilla extract. Set this aside.
  • To your stand-mixer bowl, add in the unsalted butter and granulated sugar. Mix until fluffy.
  • Add eggs one at a time. Scrape down the sides of the bowl using a rubber spatula as needed.
  • Add the dry and wet ingredients into the stand mixer by alternating and mixing/stirring in between. Mix in ginger, nutmeg and cinnamon. Once everything is combined, stop mixing. It is very important not to over mix the batter.
  • Divide the batter evenly into cake pans and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted to the centre comes out clean.
  • Cool the cakes in the freezer or a cooling rack.
