In my quest to create simple and delicious cakes that anyone can master, I present to you this Honey Butter Bundt Cake! I love making anything with honey. Healthier than adding a ton of sugar and it gives such a unique taste to anything you put it in.
This cake is super simple, and you can pair it with your favorite berries, whipped cream, or a honey glaze to add a little more sweetness.
The Recipe
To start off for this recipe you want to sift together the flour, cornstarch, salt, and baking powder. For best results, sift the ingredients through 2-3 times. Add in the sugar and mix for an additional 1 minute. Adding cornstarch to your flour is a substitute for cake flour. If you would like to use cake flour omit the cornstarch. This gives the cake the best texture.
Next add in your butter, egg yolks, vanilla, and honey. Mix for 2-3 minutes until all of the ingredients are combined. Add in remaining eggs one at a time, scraping the sides of the bowl after each addition.
For this recipe you want to make sure that your bundt pan is prepared with non-stick spray and dusted with sugar. You want to make sure your pan is covered so you do not have issues with the cake sticking and you will have a beautiful cake.
Bake for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow to cool upright on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Then turn the pan over and release the cake and allow to cool completely.
This is the part where you can get creative and decide how you would like to top the cake. Of course you can leave it as is. You can add a dusting of powdered sugar for a simple finish, or top with a honey glaze (recipe below). Pair with some fresh berries and whipped cream and you have a light, tasty treat!
