    Preparation Steps

    1

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a 9-inch (22 cm) cake pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

    2

    In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. This is your dry ingredient mixture.

    3

    In another bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the honey, then beat in the eggs one at a time.

    4

    Grate in the lemon zest and add the lemon juice. This will provide a fresh, citrusy flavor.

    5

    Gradually add the dry ingredients and milk, alternating between them, while continuously mixing. Ensure you achieve a smooth batter.

    6

    Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake at 350°F (180°C) for 35-40 minutes. Check for doneness with a toothpick – it should come out clean.

    7

    While the cake is cooling, prepare the glaze: whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until you have a smooth, liquid glaze.

    8

    Once the cake has cooled, pour the glaze over it and spread evenly with a spatula. Allow the glaze to set before slicing.
