Ingredients

• 150 grams Rye flour
• 50 grams All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 115 grams Unsalted butter, softened
• 150 grams Honey
• 50 grams Brown sugar, packed
• 2 pieces Eggs, large
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 120 ml Whole milk
• 60 grams Greek yogurt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch (23 cm) round cake pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the rye flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and ginger. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, honey, and brown sugar together using a hand or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Reduce the mixer speed to low and mix in the dry ingredients in three additions, alternating with the milk and Greek yogurt. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overbeat.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully invert it onto a wire rack and remove the parchment paper. Let cool completely before serving.

Step 9

Optional: Dust with powdered sugar or glaze with extra honey before serving for an additional touch of sweetness.
