Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, honey, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add Eggs and Flavorings: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
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 in 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. Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
