Instructions
Let’s dive into the simple steps to create this delightful honey cake:
-
Preheat your oven to 180°C (375°F) to ensure it’s ready when your cake is prepared.
-
Prepare the Dry Ingredients:
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 3/4 cups of self-raising flour and 3/4 cup of sugar. Stir them together until evenly distributed.
-
Prepare the Wet Ingredients:
- In another bowl, combine 150g of softened butter, 3 eggs, 1/2 cup of honey, and 3/4 cup of sour cream. Mix these ingredients together until they are well combined and smooth.
-
Combine and Mix:
- Add the butter mixture to the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cake dense.
-
Bake the Cake:
- Spoon the cake batter into a greased and floured ring tin. Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Place the tin in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the tin for a few minutes.
- Transfer the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Tips for Success
-
Choosing Ingredients: Use high-quality honey for the best flavor. Local or raw honey can add a unique depth to the cake.
-
Baking Time: Keep an eye on the cake towards the end of the baking time. Ovens can vary, so the skewer test ensures it’s perfectly cooked.
-
Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze slices for longer storage.
