Add the honey, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas, and mix until smooth.
4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, gently mixing until just combined and no flour lumps remain.
6
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread evenly.
7
Bake the cake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
9
Before serving, dust with powdered sugar, or drizzle a little honey over the top for an even more intense flavor.
