  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 cup sliced almonds

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a round cake pan.
  2. Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Combine the flour and baking powder in another bowl. Gradually add to the creamed mixture, alternating with milk, until well blended.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool.
  7. For the topping, in a saucepan over medium heat, combine honey and sliced almonds. Cook until the almonds are golden brown, then remove from heat.
  8. Whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form and fold it into the cooled cake.
  9. Once cooled, slice the cake in half and spread the whipped cream filling between the layers.
  10. Top with the honey almond mixture. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

To prevent soggy cake, ensure the cake is completely cooled before adding the filling and topping. For a different flavor, consider adding almond extract to the filling.
