Baking Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a round cake pan with greased parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, granulated sugar, and eggs until smooth.
  3. Sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Gradually incorporate into the honey mixture while adding softened butter. Mix until a soft dough forms.
  4. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape into disks. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for 20 minutes.
  5. Roll out each disk into a circle and bake for 4-5 minutes until golden brown. Cool completely on a wire rack.
  6. Whip the cold heavy cream until soft peaks form, then gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract until the frosting is light and fluffy.
  7. Layer the cooled disks on a serving plate, spreading frosting between each layer.
  8. Cover the entire cake with the remaining frosting, smoothing it out.
  9. Refrigerate the fully assembled cake for at least 1 hour to meld flavors.
