Number Of Ingredients 19

3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
½ cup honey
2 teaspoons vanilla
8 ounces unsalted butter, room temperature
1 ½ cups sugar
4 eggs, room temperature
12 ounces unsalted butter, room temperature
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
4 - 6 cups confectioners' sugar
⅓ cup honey
⅓ cup sugar
¼ cup honey
½ cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
pinch of fine sea salt
gold sanding sugar (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and lightly flour three 8″ round pans.
  • In medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
  • In small bowl, mix together the buttermilk, honey and vanilla. Set aside.
  • In bowl of stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar on medium speed 4 minutes until fluffy.
  • Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping down sides of bowl as needed.
  • Gradually add the dry and wet ingredients, alternating, starting and ending with dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to over mix.
  • Divide batter evenly between the three 8″ round pans.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes, until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.
  • Let cool in pans for 10 to 15 minutes, then remove to wire rack to finish cooling.

  • Let sauce cool completely before using on the cake! This can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Allow glaze to come to room temperature before using so that it pours easily.

  • Crumb coat and frost cake with remaining frosting. Refrigerate for 20 minutes or until frosting is set.

MILK AND HONEY CAKE



Milk and Honey Cake image

The flavor of this ultrabuttery layer cake, adapted from Odette Williams's "Simple Cake" (Ten Speed Press, 2019), can be as mild or pronounced as you like, depending on the variety of honey you use. Clover honey will give you something gentle and mellow, while more assertive buckwheat or chestnut honey have more depth. You can serve the cake plain, with dollops of the whipped cream on the side, for a casual gathering, or frost and fill it, adding berries or other fruit, for a more celebratory affair. It makes an excellent birthday cake.

Time 1h15m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

12 tablespoons/170 grams unsalted butter (1 1/2 sticks), at room temperature, plus more for greasing
2 1/4 cups/290 grams all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
3 large eggs, at room temperature
1 cup/240 milliliters buttermilk (shake carton before measuring)
3/4 cup/180 milliliters honey, plus more for whipped cream and serving
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup/150 grams granulated sugar
1 cup/240 milliliters heavy cream
Fresh berries, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease two 8-inch round cake pans, line the bottoms with parchment paper and grease the parchment.
  • Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a large bowl.
  • In a small bowl, beat eggs until smooth.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together buttermilk, honey and vanilla.
  • Using an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter on medium speed to break it up, then gradually beat in sugar, continuing to beat until very light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • With the mixer on medium speed, add eggs, 1 tablespoon at a time. If the mixture looks curdled at any point, add 1 tablespoon of the flour mixture to bind it back together.
  • Reduce mixer to low and mix in a third of the flour mixture. Scrape down sides of bowl with a rubber spatula, then mix in half the buttermilk mixture. Mix in another third of the flour mixture, scraping down sides of bowl, then mix in remaining buttermilk mixture followed by remaining flour. Scrape down bowl.
  • Scrape batter evenly into prepared pans and smooth tops with a spatula. Bake until the cake springs back when lightly pressed, and a toothpick inserted into center of the cake comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes.
  • Transfer to a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes. Run an offset spatula or butter knife around edges of pan to loosen cakes, then unmold onto the rack, remove parchment and allow to cool completely.
  • Just before serving, whip the cream with a drizzle or two of honey, to taste (up to 2 tablespoons if you like it sweet). Frost the top of one cake, top with the remaining cake then frost the top of the stacked cake. Drizzle with additional honey and garnish with berries, if you like.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature butter and eggs to ensure a smooth batter.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter cake.
  • Gradually add the eggs to the butter mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt before adding them to the batter. This will help prevent lumps.
  • Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Overmixing can result in a tough cake.
  • Pour the batter into a greased and floured 9x13 inch baking pan.
  • Bake the cake at 350°F for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting.
  • For the honey butter frosting, simply cream together butter, honey, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
  • Spread the frosting over the cooled cake and enjoy!

Conclusion:

Honey butter cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of honey and butter gives the cake a rich and flavorful taste, while the tender crumb makes it a delight to eat. Whether you are a seasoned baker or a beginner, this recipe is sure to impress. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give honey butter cake a try. You won't be disappointed!
