2 large eggs
1/2 cup honey

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Cream Butter and Sugar: In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Add Honey and Vanilla: Stir in the honey and vanilla extract until well combined.
Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined. Fold in the chopped walnuts.
Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve plain or with a drizzle of honey on top.
