Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8-inch (20 cm) round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Pour in the honey and continue to beat until everything is well combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the self-raising flour and cocoa powder.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Use a spatula to even out the top if necessary. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon of water. Stir until you achieve a smooth and pourable consistency. If the glaze is too thick, add a few more drops of water.
Once the cake has completely cooled, drizzle the powdered sugar glaze over the top of the cake. Allow the glaze to set before serving.
Slice the cake and serve. Enjoy your heavenly honey chocolate cake with a cup of tea or coffee!
Tips:
- Make sure the butter is at room temperature for easy mixing.
- Sift the dry ingredients (self-raising flour and cocoa powder) to avoid lumps and ensure a smooth batter.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter; mix just until the ingredients are combined to keep the cake light and fluffy.
- Preheat your oven to the correct temperature to ensure even baking.
- Use a toothpick to test for doneness; if it comes out clean, the cake is ready.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting or serving to prevent it from crumbling.
Your honey chocolate cake is now ready to be enjoyed! The combination of honey and chocolate provides a unique and delectable flavor that is sure to delight anyone who tastes it. Serve it with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat. Happy baking!
