Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup honey
- 1 cup buttermilk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves.
- In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in honey.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with buttermilk, beginning and ending with flour. Mix until just combined.
- Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let cake cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips
- For extra flavor, brush the warm cake with additional honey after baking.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
