⏱ 45 minServes 615 min prep30 min cook

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup wildflower honey, plus extra for glazing
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/3 cup plain whole-milk yogurt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground cardamom
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1/3 cup sliced almonds, toasted

Steps

  1. 1

    1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 6-inch round cake pan; line the bottom with parchment.

  2. 2

    2. Whisk together the eggs, honey, melted butter, yogurt, and vanilla until smooth and well combined.

  3. 3

    3. Fold in the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, cardamom, and salt until just incorporated — do not overmix.

  4. 4

    4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 28–32 minutes, until the top is deep golden and a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.

  5. 5

    5. While the cake is still warm, brush generously with additional honey so it soaks into the surface and creates a glistening glaze.

  6. 6

    6. Scatter toasted almonds over the top and serve warm or at room temperature, with a small piece of honeycomb alongside if desired.
