Steps To Make This Moist Honey Cake
Step by step, we’ll whip up a honey cake masterpiece!
Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F) and prepare a parchment paper-lined loaf pan. This ensures your cake bakes evenly and releases easily.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, oil, vanilla extract, and honey. Get those whisks twirling and create a smooth, well-combined mixture.
Heat your chosen tea or coffee until steaming hot. Remember, this adds magic to the flavor!
Gently pour the hot tea into the wet ingredients and whisk until fully incorporated. Let the fusion of flavors commence!
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Dry ingredients need their own party too!
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Don’t overmix, or you’ll risk a tough cake. Imagine you’re embracing a fluffy cloud, not wrestling a doughy dragon.
Pour the batter into your prepared pan and smooth the top. Anticipation builds!
