Honey Cake 蜂蜜蛋糕

This soft and slightly moist Honey Cake tastes just great with the right sweetness to me, at least. It's a simple cake flavoured with honey and lemon and the sweet aroma wafting through the kitchen during the process of baking was just wonderful. This makes a yummy dessert served with a dollop of ice cream or even on its own with a cup of coffee or tea.

Honey Cake

Ingredients:
200g plain flour (1 3/4 cups)
3/4tsp baking powder
1/2tsp baking soda
1/2tsp cinnamon powder
1/2tsp salt
2 large eggs
70g caster sugar or brown sugar (1/3cup)
75g honey (1/4 cup)
100g fresh milk (1/2 cup)
85g vegetable oil (1/2 cup)
zest from 1 lemon

Method:

Preheat oven to 165 deg C. Grease a 7 inch bundt pan or line a 7 inch round cake pan. Dust with flour; tap out excess. (Better to change to a smaller cake pan, as my 8 inch cake pan is a little too big for this cake)
Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon powder and salt together into a bowl. Add lemon zest and mix well. Set aside.
Whisk eggs and sugar on high speed until pale and thick.
In a cup, combine honey, milk, oil and zest together, Mix well and slowly add into egg mixture at low speed until combined.
Add in flour mixture in few batches, mix until smooth, Pour batter into pan.
Bake until dark brown for about 40-45 minutes or a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean..
Let cool in pan for about 10 minutes. Then remove cake and cool on wire rack.
