Preparation Steps
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch (22 cm) cake pan, or line it with parchment paper.
2
Melt the butter in a small saucepan. Stir in the honey and let it cool slightly.
3
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
4
Pour the honey-butter mixture into the egg mixture, then add the vanilla extract and stir until smooth.
5
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
6
Gradually sift the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing continuously until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
7
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread evenly.
8
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9
Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
10
Before serving, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with a little extra honey for an even more intense flavor.
