Ingredients

• 2.75 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.75 cups Unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar, packed
• 0.75 cups Honey
• 3 Large eggs
• 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 10-inch Bundt pan to ensure the cake releases easily.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.

Step 4

Slowly drizzle the honey into the butter-sugar mixture, mixing until fully combined.

Step 5

Add the eggs one at a time to the mixture, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Step 6

Mix in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

Step 7

With the mixer on low speed, alternately add the dry ingredients and milk to the wet mixture in three parts, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until everything is combined, being careful not to overmix.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 10

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Then carefully turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Once the cake is fully cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar for an optional garnish before serving.

Step 12

Slice and enjoy your homemade honey Bundt cake! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
