To achieve the ideal texture in your Vanilla Honey Almond Cake, the creaming process is crucial. Begin by placing softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar into a mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar together on medium speed until the mixture turns light and fluffy, which usually takes about 3 to 5 minutes. This step is essential because it creates air pockets within the batter, leading to a cake that is light and tender rather than dense and heavy.

Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

1 cup granulated sugar

½ cup unsalted butter, softened

¾ cup milk

3 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ teaspoon almond extract

1 tablespoon honey

2 teaspoons baking powder

¼ teaspoon salt

Sliced almonds (for topping)

Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

      Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

        Add Eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla and almond extracts, along with the honey.

          Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk. Start and end with the flour mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

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

              Add Toppings: Sprinkle sliced almonds evenly over the top of the batter for added texture and flavor.

                Bake: Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

                  Cool: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

                    Serve: Once cooled, you can dust the cake with powdered sugar for a beautiful finish and serve.
