1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan.
Cream Butter and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the honey and mix until well combined.
Add Eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Mix Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined.
Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30-35 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. Once cooled, sprinkle with flaky sea salt before slicing and serving.
