Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 20x20cm traybake tin with butter or cooking spray.
Tip: Ensure the tin is evenly coated to prevent the cake from sticking.

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Tip: Avoid overmixing the dry ingredients.

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.
- 4
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.
- 5
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.
- 6
Pour the batter into the prepared traybake tin and smooth the top.
Tip: Ensure the batter is evenly distributed to prevent uneven baking.
- 7
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Tip: Check the cake frequently during the last 5 minutes of baking to prevent overcooking.

Remove from the oven and let cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
