The taste, texture and the aroma will leave you mesmerized and with the drizzle of honey on it, the savoring becomes all the more heavenly…

Ingredients

All purpose flour – 150 gm

Honey – 125 gm plus about 2 tbsp extra to glaze

Butter (salted) – 110 gm

Sugar – 50 gm (granulated)

Eggs – 2 medium size

Baking Powder – 1 ½ tsp

Walnuts – ½ cup (coarsely grinded)(optional)

Method

Sieve all purpose flour and baking powder and set aside.

Preheat the oven.

Grease the cake pan with butter and dust it with flour or line it with parchment paper.

Cut the butter into pieces and drop into a pan/kadai with honey and sugar.

Melt slowly over a low heat with continuous stirring. When the mixture looks quite liquid, increase the heat and boil for about half a minute.

Leave it to cool for about 15-20 mins in fan. (This is done to prevent the eggs from cooking when they are mixed in).

Beat the eggs and put them one at a time into the melted honey mixture and beat well.

Now put the sifted flour and baking powder into the above mixture and fold in nicely so that the flour is well incorporated and you get a smooth lump free batter.

Pour it into the greased cake pan.

Sprinkle walnuts on the top of the batter just before putting the cake pan inside the oven. (This step is optional).

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.

Take out the pan and after few minutes invert it on a plate for the cake to come out. Let it cool on a wire rack.

Pour a little honey on the cake before having it. This gives a glaze along with the super delicious taste of honey.

One more compiled shot for you all to enjoy the views of the super delicious cake from different angles!!!!
