# What You'll Need:
→ Dry Ingredients
01 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
03 - ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
→ Wet Ingredients
04 - 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
05 - 1 cup granulated sugar
06 - ½ cup mild liquid honey
07 - 4 large eggs, room temperature
08 - 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
09 - ½ cup whole milk, room temperature
→ Optional Glaze
10 - 2 tablespoons honey
11 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
# How To Make It:
01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
02 - In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
03 - In a large bowl, use an electric mixer on medium speed to cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, approximately 3 minutes.
04 - Add the ½ cup of mild liquid honey to the creamed mixture and blend until fully incorporated.
05 - Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the pure vanilla extract.
06 - Add the sifted dry ingredients to the wet mixture in three parts, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined to avoid overmixing.
07 - Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the surface with a spatula.
08 - Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
09 - Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
10 - Melt 2 tablespoons honey with 1 tablespoon unsalted butter and brush the glaze over the warm cake for added shine and flavor.
