Honey Pound Cake

“It’s moist, easy, and full of honey. What is there not to like about this wonderful dessert?”
Shani Levi

It’s like an upgraded version of your everyday sponge cake, boasting a luxurious sweetness and richness thanks to the infusion of honey. This golden nectar not only fills every nook and cranny of the cake as it’s drizzled on top but also plays a starring role in the batter itself, making this dessert an absolute must-try for honey aficionados.
And here’s a little secret – by substituting granulated sugar with honey in this recipe, you’ll find that the cake becomes even sweeter because, well, honey is naturally sweeter. As a bonus, honey also contains trace amounts of iron and potassium, making it a healthier alternative to sugar.
The result? A cake that emerges from your oven moist, luscious, and perfectly sweet, with a hint of warmth courtesy of the tea and cinnamon. If you desire an extra layer of texture, serve it with some crunchy almonds.
Prepare this honey pound cake once, and you’ll soon find yourself fielding endless requests from family and friends. The icing on the cake? You can stash some slices in the freezer, ensuring that more delicious moments are just a thaw away.
