Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 20cm (8inch) round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
Tip: Make sure to grease the pan thoroughly to prevent the cake from sticking.
- 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Tip: This will help to remove any lumps from the dry ingredients.
- 3
In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the butter until it is light and fluffy.
Tip: This will help to incorporate air into the butter.
- 4
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter, alternating with the honey, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients.
Tip: Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl after each addition.
- 5
Beat in the eggs one at a time, allowing each egg to fully incorporate before adding the next.
Tip: This will help to create a smooth and even batter.
- 6
In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and vanilla extract.
Tip: This will help to create a light and airy texture.
- 7
Fold the heavy cream mixture into the batter until well combined.
Tip: Be careful not to overmix, as this can deflate the batter.
- 8
Sift the confectioner's sugar over the batter and fold until well combined.
Tip: This will help to add a smooth and even texture.

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.
Tip: Make sure to get the batter into all corners of the pan.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Tip: This will help to ensure that the cake is fully cooked.
- 11
Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tip: This will help to prevent the cake from breaking or cracking.
- 12
Once the cake is completely cool, you can whip the heavy cream and confectioner's sugar together until stiff peaks form.
Tip: This will help to create a light and airy topping.
- 13
Spread the whipped cream over the top of the cake and sprinkle with confectioner's sugar.
Tip: This will help to add a sweet and decorative touch to the cake.
