Total Time: 1 hr 40 mins
Servings: 8

Ingredients:

Cake:

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

3/4 teaspoon kosher salt

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

2/3 cup wildflower honey

3 tablespoons plain yogurt

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

4 large eggs

1/3 cup sliced almonds

Toasted Honey Syrup:

1/3 cup wildflower honey

3 tablespoons water

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 9-inch round cake pan, and line the base with a circle of parchment. Whisk flour, baking powder, and kosher salt together in a bowl; set aside.

Beat butter and honey together in a bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.

Add yogurt, vanilla, 2 eggs, and about 1/3 of the flour mixture. Mix until everything is incorporated. Add the remaining 2 eggs and flour; mix just until flour disappears.

Use a spatula to spread the batter into the prepared pan. Smooth the top and apply almonds to the surface.

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Cool in the pan for 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, make syrup: Toast honey in a saucepan over medium-high heat until it turns a light brown, and takes on a caramelized honey aroma. Turn off heat and add water. Swirl the pan to stir in the water, and let cool until needed.

Invert the cake onto a plate and soak the top evenly with toasted honey syrup. Cool the cake completely before serving.
