A delicious bundt cake with a mellow honey flavor.

  • Total Time: 1 hour, 30 minutes
  • Yield: 12

Ingredients

Units
  • 1 cup honey
  • 118 grams of butter unsalted
  • 2 eggs at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup warm milk (20 seconds in the microwave on high)
  • 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar or white
  • a pinch of salt or 1/4 teaspoon
  • 2 1/2 cup sifted all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 180C or 350F.
  2. Pour the honey into a glass Pyrex bowl, add butter, and heat in the microwave on high for 30 seconds. Stir well (for 1 minute). This should melt all the butter and mix it with honey. If it is necessary,  heat 20 seconds more. Or do the same in a small pan.

  3. With a mixer, beat eggs on medium speed until frothy, about 2 minutes. Add the honey and melted butter, milk, salt, and vinegar.
    Wet ingredients mixed.
  4. Beat on low speed until mixed. Add the flour with the baking powder and pour over the batter. Beat at medium speed for 1 minute. At first, the dough will look lumpy. Keep beating until it is homogenous and looks like a batter.

  5. Pour into a buttered pan. You may use a long-pound cake pan or a bundt cake pan or make 12 muffins. Just remember not to fill the pan. Leave at least an inch free at the top.
