Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 3 large eggs

Filling and Decoration

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup almond flakes
  • Edible flowers for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and baking powder. Whisk them together to ensure even distribution of the leavening agent and sugars.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, and eggs until fully blended and smooth. This mixture will add richness and moisture to the cake batter.
  3. Combine wet and dry: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cake tender.
  4. Bake the cake: Pour the batter into a greased 9-inch round cake pan and smooth the surface. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  5. Cool and layer: Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, carefully slice the cake horizontally into two or three even layers using a serrated knife.
  6. Assemble the cake: Whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Spread a layer of whipped cream evenly between each cake layer. Coat the exterior sides of the assembled cake with remaining whipped cream.
  7. Decorate: Press almond flakes gently onto the sides of the cake to create a textured coating. Finish by placing edible flowers on top for a beautiful and natural garnish.

Notes

  • Ensure eggs are at room temperature to achieve a smooth batter.
  • For a stronger honey flavor, use a high-quality or floral honey variety.
  • Chill the cake for at least 30 minutes after assembling to help set the layers before serving.
  • Edible flowers should be organic and food-safe; marigold, violets, or pansies work well.
  • Almond flakes can be lightly toasted for added crunch and flavor.
  • Store leftover cake covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
