Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan.

Notes
- Use Good Quality Honey: Raw, unfiltered honey will add the best flavor to this cake.
- Don’t Overmix the Batter: Mix just until combined to avoid a dense cake.
- Add Spice for Extra Flavor: A pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg can elevate the flavor of this honey cake.
- Let the Cake Cool: Allow the cake to cool before slicing to make it easier to cut clean pieces.
