Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 20x20cm traybake tin with butter or cooking spray.

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the honey.
Tip: Take your time to ensure the mixture is smooth.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the yogurt and vanilla extract. Add this mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until combined.
Tip: Don't overmix, as this can result in a dense cake.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Tip: Stop mixing once the ingredients are combined, and the batter is smooth.

Pour the batter into the prepared traybake tin and smooth the top.
Tip: Ensure the batter is evenly distributed to prevent uneven baking.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
