Recipe for Honey Cakes



((If you want to make Beri's honey cakes irl! I made these for the Solstice and they turned out amazing!))

Ingredients:

  • I used two loaf pans, but whatever works. Honestly I think cupcake tins would be perfect.
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 sticks butter (softened)
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup  milk
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • oil or cooking spray to grease pans
  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F, maybe 300 if your oven runs hot.  Grease your pans.
  2. Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in one bowl.  Set aside.
  3. Cream butter and sugar together until fluffy.  Beat in eggs one at a time.  Add honey.  Beat in vanilla.
  4. Slowly add flour mixture, alternating with the milk.  Beat until just smooth.
  5. Pour batter into greased cake mold and put in preheated oven.
  6. Bake until you can plunge a fork into the cake and it comes out clean, about 30 minutes. 
  7. The original recipe says to let cool for 1.5 hours buuut I didn't do that lol. I used sifted powdered sugar to garnish, but I'm sure an icing (lemon??) , or even an extra drizzle of honey, would be divine!
