Instructions

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.

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.

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.

Sift the confectioner's sugar over the batter and fold until well combined.

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.
