Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup honey
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and baking powder. In a separate bowl, whisk together the honey, eggs, and vegetable oil until smooth and well blended. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until a consistent batter forms without lumps.
  2. Pour into Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round or square baking pan with oil or butter. Pour the prepared batter evenly into the pan, smoothing the top with a spatula for uniform thickness.
  3. Bake the Cake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 55 minutes. To check doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of cinnamon or vanilla extract to the batter.
  • Make sure not to overmix the batter to keep the cake tender.
  • Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
  • This cake freezes well wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil for up to 2 months.
