Description

This Honey Bun Pound Cake is a moist and tender dessert with a delicious balance of sweetness from the honey drizzle. It’s the perfect combination of a classic pound cake with a warm, honey-infused finish. The cake itself is rich and buttery, while the honey drizzle adds a sweet and sticky touch that makes this cake irresistible!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup honey

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan.
  • Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This usually takes about 3-5 minutes with an electric mixer.
  • Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Alternate Adding Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternating with the whole milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  • Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
  • Honey Drizzle: While the cake is still warm, poke several holes in the top of the cake with a fork or skewer. Drizzle the honey evenly over the top of the cake, allowing it to soak into the holes.
  • Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before turning it out onto a serving plate. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

  • Make sure the butter is softened for easy creaming. If you forget to set it out in advance, you can microwave it for a few seconds to soften it.
  • The honey drizzle will absorb into the warm cake, adding a nice moistness and extra flavor.
  • This cake pairs wonderfully with a cup of coffee or tea!
