Creating Bee Sting Cake can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Add Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the milk, softened butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until a smooth batter forms.
5. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6. Cool the Cake: Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. Prepare the Cream Filling: In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
8. Slice the Cake: Once the cake is completely cooled, slice it in half horizontally to create two layers.
9. Fill the Cake: Spread the whipped cream filling evenly on the bottom layer. Place the top layer back on.
10. Prepare the Topping: In a saucepan, melt the butter and honey over medium heat. Add the sliced almonds, stirring until they are well coated.
11. Top the Cake: Pour the almond mixture over the top layer of the cake, spreading it evenly.
12. Chill: Place the cake in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the topping to set.
