Creating a Honey Cake is simple when you follow these straightforward steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating 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, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the sugar, honey, vegetable oil, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
5. Add Nuts: If using, fold in the chopped walnuts or almonds for added texture and flavor.
6. Pour Batter: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula if necessary.
7. Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
8. Cool: Once done, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Dust with Powdered Sugar: If desired, dust the cooled cake with powdered sugar for a simple yet elegant touch.

By following these steps, you’ll create a delicious Honey Cake that your friends and family will love!
