    Preparation Steps

    1

    Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Prepare a cake pan by lining it with parchment paper or greasing and flouring it.

    2

    In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

    3

    Add the honey, vanilla extract, and milk, and mix until smooth.

    4

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.

    5

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined and free of lumps.

    6

    Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

    7

    Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

    8

    Prepare the cream: whisk together the heavy cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Spread the cream over the top and sides of the cake.

    9

    Garnish the cake with ground walnuts or other desired toppings, then refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving.
