RECIPES
This honey cake is a lovely light sponge. We've used honey in this recipe as it lends itself well to the bake. It adds a sweetness without the need for refined sugar and helps retain a really nice moisture to the sponge. This cake works wonderfully as a traditional round cake, but if you love this recipe as a traybake version without a topping, why not try our honey stem ginger loaf cake.
