Gâteau au miel (Honey Cake)

150 g/ 1 & 1/4 cup plain flour, sifted

1 tsp baking powder

3 eggs

4 tbsp milk

2 tbsp orange blossom water

100 g/ 7 tbsp unsalted butter, softened at room temperature

50 g/ 1/4 muscovado sugar (you can also use brown cassonade sugar, the cake will be slightly lighter colored)

100 ml/ 7 tbsp honey + 3-4 tbsp to drizzle on cake

Preheat oven to 180°C/ 350F

In a bowl, mix sifted flour and baking powder. Set aside.

In another bowl, whisk eggs and sugar until frothy. Add honey, milk, orange blossom water, butter and mix well. Add sifted flour and baking powder.

Butter and base-line a cake mould with parchment paper (my cake mould is approx 8 inches wide).

Pour batter into cake mould and bake in preheated oven for approx 25 minutes. Unmould after 5 minutes and leave to cool on a wire rack. Just before serving, drizzle honey all over cake. (if honey is too thick, heat it gently for a few seconds on a very low heat)
