Wildflower Honey Cake
Wildflower honey cake is a very old-fashioned cake made with the best kind of honey, produced by the happiest bees, wildflower honey. Finished with a toasted honey syrup, it has so much more flavor than cakes made with plain sugar, and is one of the easiest cake batters ever.

Prep:20 mCook:40 mReady:1 h 40 m
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 9-inch round cake pan, and line the base with a circle of parchment. Whisk flour, baking powder, and kosher salt together in a bowl; set aside.
- Beat butter and honey together in a bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
- Add yogurt, vanilla, 2 eggs, and about 1/3 of flour mixture. Mix until everything is incorporated. Add the remaining 2 eggs and flour; mix just until flour disappears.
- Use a spatula to spread batter into the prepared pan. Smooth top and apply almonds to the surface.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Cool in the pan for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make syrup: Toast honey in a saucepan over medium-high heat until it turns a light brown, and takes on a caramelized honey aroma. Turn off heat and add water. Swirl the pan to stir in the water, and let cool until needed.
- Invert cake onto a plate, and soak the top evenly with toasted honey syrup. Cool cake completely before serving.
