- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds (toasted)
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, cream the softened butter until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well. Gradually alternate adding dry ingredients with milk until smooth.
- Grease a round cake pan and pour in the batter. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely on a wire rack.
- For the topping, heat honey and sliced almonds in a saucepan over low heat for about five minutes.
- Whip heavy cream until soft peaks form; add powdered sugar if desired.
- Slice the cooled cake horizontally into two layers. Spread whipped cream on one layer, place the second layer on top, then pour warm honey-almond mixture evenly over it.
- Allow flavors to meld before slicing and serve at room temperature or chilled.
