FAQs

Can I use other sweeteners instead of honey?

Honey gives this cake its distinctive flavor and moisture, but you can substitute it with maple syrup or agave nectar, keeping in mind the taste and texture will change slightly.

How do I know when the cake is fully baked?

Insert a toothpick or skewer into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean or with a few dry crumbs, the cake is done. If it has wet batter on it, bake a few minutes longer and test again.
