02 - 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
03 - ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
→ Wet Ingredients
04 - 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (225 g)
05 - 1 cup granulated sugar (200 g)
06 - ½ cup mild liquid honey (4 fl oz / 120 ml)
07 - 4 large eggs, room temperature

09 - ½ cup whole milk, room temperature (4 fl oz / 120 ml)

# How To Make It:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
02 - Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.
03 - Using an electric mixer on medium speed, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, approximately 3 minutes.
04 - Add the honey to the creamed butter mixture and blend until fully incorporated.
05 - Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
06 - Add the dry ingredients in three parts, alternating with milk, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Mix gently until just combined to avoid overmixing.
07 - Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top evenly.
08 - Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
09 - Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
10 - For glaze, melt 2 tablespoons honey with 1 tablespoon butter and brush it over the warm cake.
