Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Cake Batter

In a large mixing bowl, combine 200 grams of all-purpose flour, 150 grams of honey, 100 grams of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of baking soda.

Beat in 3 large eggs until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt to enhance the flavor. Make sure the batter is well mixed and has a nice, even texture.

Step 2

Bake the Cake

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a round cake pan to prevent sticking.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.

Step 3

Make the Frosting

In a medium bowl, whip 300 grams of heavy cream until soft peaks form. Slowly add in 150 grams of cream cheese and 100 grams of powdered sugar.

Continue to whip until the frosting is nice and fluffy. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract for flavor, mixing it until evenly blended.

Step 4

Assemble the Cake

Once the cake has cooled completely, slice it horizontally into two layers.

Spread an even layer of the frosting between the two layers of cake. Use the remaining frosting to cover the top and sides of the cake for a beautiful finish.

Step 5

Serve and Enjoy

Decorate the cake as desired, and let it chill in the refrigerator for a couple of hours to set the frosting.

When ready to serve, slice your delicious lambet honey cake and enjoy this delightful treat with family and friends! Perfect for any celebration!

Variations

If you're looking for **gluten-free** or **vegan** options, we’ve got you covered! 🌱
For a gluten-free Honey Cake, substitute all-purpose flour with almond flour or a certified gluten-free flour blend. Don't forget to adjust baking times as needed!
Want to make it vegan? Replace honey with maple syrup and use flaxseed meal mixed with water for eggs. This will maintain the texture and flavor while keeping it plant-based! 🙌 Both variations are sure to delight and prove that everyone can enjoy this sweet treat.
