Delicious Greek Honey Cake

Ingredients

Here’s what you need to whip up this scrumptious cake:

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup honey
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • For the syrup: 1/2 cup honey, 1/2 cup water, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Now, let’s get into how to make this heavenly cake:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan or round cake pans.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  3. Stir in the honey and milk, mixing until combined.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Pour the batter into your prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. While the cake is baking, prepare the syrup. In a small saucepan, combine the honey, water, and vanilla extract. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for about 5 minutes.
  9. Once the cake is done baking, let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, poke holes all over the top of the cake with a toothpick.
  10. Pour the warm syrup over the cake, letting it soak in for maximum flavor.
  11. Let the cake cool completely before slicing and serving. Enjoy the sweet, rich flavors of this amazing Greek Honey Cake!
