Honey Cake

A simple honey cake is an old fashioned tea cake that has few ingredients, is easy to bake, and showcases the complex flavor of honey!

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup plus 2 Tbsp honey. I recommend a good strongly flavored honey.
- 3 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1/2 tsp almond extract (you can also use vanilla)
- 1 Tbsp cornstarch
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 3/4 cups flour
- 1/2 cup sour cream or plain yogurt
honey whipped cream, optional
- 1 cup cold whipping cream
- 1 1/2 Tbsp honey
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350F. Spray your 9" cake pan with baking spray and line with a circle of parchment at the bottom.
- Whisk the oil and honey until well combined.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Add the almond extract.
- With the mixer on low, blend in the cornstarch, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Then mix in the flour. When the flour is almost all incorporated add in the sour cream and mix just until combined, don't over beat. Note: if you are using a stand mixer I always finish with a silicone spatula to make sure everything has gotten up from the bottom and evenly incorporated.
- Turn the batter into your prepared pan and bake for about 35 minutes, or until risen and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out without wet batter on it. Mine took 33 minutes, to be exact.
- Let the cake cool for 10 minutes before going around the edges with a thin offset knife to loosen it. Then turn out from the pan onto a rack to cool completely.
- Dust the cooled cake with confectioner's sugar and serve with a drizzle of honey or honey whipped cream.

- Whip the cold cream with the honey until soft peaks form. Add a bit more honey if you like. Note: don't try to whip to stiff peaks, the honey will cause curdling if you take it too far.
Notes
- If you would like to use butter in place of oil, start with room temperature butter and cream with the honey until fluffy. Then proceed with the recipe. You can also use melted and cooled butter.
