Honey Cake Recipe

This honey cake recipe comes with permission, from the enchanting children’s book Omar, The Bees and Me by Helen Mortimer and Katie Cottle (published by Owletpress), I was kindly gifted recently. A story of friendship, sustainability and the power within to change our communities and planet, this is an inclusive, stunningly illustrated must-read for children everywhere. Mine was packed up with some wild flower seeds by Seedbom, a chocolate bee and a nature trail activity list for the kids to boot.

My boys absolutely loved making this recipe with me and of course eating it afterwards, and I took great pleasure in styling it before it was all gone!

Decadent, slightly sticky and perfect with a mug of hot milk, I know you’ll love it!

Above and below, you’ll find the recipe:

Ingredients:

• 250g plain flour
• 4 eggs
• 150g sugar
• 100g runny honey
• 250g butter, softened
• 1 tsp baking powder
• A pinch of salt

 

Method: 

Beat the butter until it is creamy and then add the sugar. Add the honey, salt, baking powder, flour and eggs, mixing well after each ingredient. (For children: with the help of a grown up, pour the mixture into a greased and lined cake tin and then let them put it in the oven at 160 degrees (fan assisted) for 45 minutes, or until it’s golden.

I used a bundt baking tin as I love the shape and I dusted it with icing before adding a faux flower for extra dazzle!

Let me know if you make it, won’t you!!
