Tips:

  • Soften the butter before creaming it with the sugar. This will make the mixture light and fluffy.
  • Use fresh honey for the best flavor. If your honey is crystallized, warm it gently in a microwave or over a double boiler until it liquefies.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
