About Honey Cake

Honey is a remarkably versatile ingredient, cherished not only as a wholesome alternative to sugar but also for its healing properties in traditional remedies—think morning lemon-honey drinks or soothing mixtures with Tulsi for sore throats. Beyond health concoctions, honey shines in salads, curries, and, most delightfully, in desserts.
This Honey Cake was crafted for a formal party and quickly became the star of the evening. Its delicate sweetness and moist texture, paired perfectly with a cup of coffee, made it an irresistible winner that captured everyone's attention and taste buds!

  • Take butter/oil and sugar in a large bowl and beat with an electric beater till smooth and creamy.Add honey and beat for 5 minutes.Add eggs beating well after each addition.
  • The mixture would initially be a little "tight" but will normalise after the addition of the 4th egg.Add the vanilla essence and colour (if using) and mix well.
  • Sift flour and baking powder in a bowl.Add 2 tbsp at a time to the honey-egg mixture and beat with the electric beater until all the flour is used up.
  • Pour into the prepared cake pan and thump on the kitchen countertop to remove any excess air from inside.Transfer to the oven and reduce heat to 180°C.Bake for 20 - 25 minutes till risen and with a beautiful dark brown top.

Recipe Notes

NOTE : I have served it plain but if you want you can either drizzle the top with honey or make a glaze of honey and lemon juice or honey,milk and vanilla essence and pour on top.Either ways delicious!
 

Additional Tips

  • For a richer honey flavor, use a robust, floral honey like wildflower or orange blossom, and drizzle a thin layer of warm honey over the cake immediately after baking to enhance moisture and aroma.
  • If you prefer a lighter texture, separate the eggs and beat the whites until stiff peaks form before gently folding them into the batter—this will create a fluffier crumb.
  • To make this cake dairy-free, ensure the recipe’s oil is plant-based (such as sunflower or canola), and consider serving it with coconut whipped cream for a tropical twist.
  • For an eye-catching presentation, sprinkle finely chopped pistachios or edible dried rose petals on top of the cake after glazing with honey.

I am a passionate foodie who loves to cook, serve and love to see people relishing my creations. Since the time I was small I used to wonder about the 'how' of things in the kitchen.

Then when I finally ventured as an unprofessional kitchen helper for my late grand-mother (a par excellent cook in her own generation) I was fascinated by the amount of stuff you could do to a simple milk and rice to form a most yummy pudding.

Here I am sharing my recipes with a will to learn from some and educate others as well!
