   Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 20cm (8 inch) round cake pan.

   In a large bowl, whisk together butter, eggs, yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract.

   Tip: Use an electric mixer for a smooth batter.

   Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, whisking until just combined.

   Tip: Don't overmix for a tender crumb.

5. 5

   Pour in the water and whisk until the batter is smooth.

   Tip: Adjust the water if the batter is too thick or too thin.

   Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.

7. 7

   Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

   Tip: Don't overbake for a moist cake.

   Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

   Tip: Use a clean towel to prevent sticking.
