Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking dish by greasing it with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of melted unsalted butter, 1/2 cup of honey, 1 cup of milk, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish evenly.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cakes cool in the dish for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
