Method
PREP TIME - 10 minutes
COOKING TIME - 45 minutes
MAKES - one cake
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C
​
2. Combine the dry ingredients together in a bowl.
​
3. Add to the try mixture the melted butter, honey, vanilla essence, eggs and milk.
​
4. Beat well with an electric beater until combined.
​
5. Bake for 40 - 45 minutes, or until a skewer poked into the centre of the cake comes out clean.
​
6. Once the cake is removed from the oven and is cooling, prepare the icing. We chose a traditional butter cream but a royal icing or similar would also be good for this cake.
​
7. To make the icing: beat the butter and icing sugar together untill smooth and well combined. Add milk to loosen as required, continuing to beat whilst adding the milk.
​
8. Once the cake it completely cooled, top with the butter cream icing.
