Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour the reliable one in your kitchen
  • ½ cup honey the real star of the show
  • ½ cup sugar because we like balance, not sadness
  • ½ cup milk any kind works, even the “I forgot to buy milk” kind
  • ½ cup vegetable oil for that soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture
  • 2 large eggs the binders of happiness
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder the cake’s little lift coach
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract for cozy bakery vibes
  • ¼ tsp salt just a pinch, don’t overthink it

Instructions

  • Preheat like you mean it
  • Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Yes, preheating matters. No, you can’t skip it unless you enjoy baking chaos.
  • Mix the wet ingredients
  • In a big bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, honey, milk, oil, and vanilla. It should look smooth, golden, and slightly tempting already.
  • Add the dry ingredients
  • In another bowl (yes, another one—sorry), mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Then slowly combine dry into wet. Stir until just combined. Don’t go wild here—this is cake, not arm day.
  • Pour and smooth
  • Pour the batter into a greased baking pan. Smooth the top like you’re fixing a messy bed.
  • Bake it up
  • Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Your kitchen will smell like a bakery’s best decision.
  • Cool before attacking
  • Let it cool (if you have self-control… which is optional but recommended).
