  • 2 tablespoons honey

  1. 1

Beat until it's well incorporated, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add the flour and the baking powder and beat until obtain a slightly creamy batter.

  3. 3

    Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula.

  4. 4

    Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 25 to 30 minutes (the time depends on the oven).

  5. 5

    When the cake is done, remove it from the oven and allow to cool for 25 to 30 minutes inside the pan.

  6. 6

    Remove from the pan and place the cake onto a wire rack or serving dish. Allow to cool completely and serve.
