Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or cooking spray. Set aside.

  2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Set aside.

  3. In a separate large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and sugar until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer.

  4. Add the honey to the butter and sugar mixture and continue to mix until well incorporated.

  5. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully combined before adding the next.

  6. Mix in the sour cream and vanilla extract until the batter is smooth and creamy.

  7. Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.

  8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

  10. Once baked, remove the Placek Miodowy from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.

  11. Carefully transfer the loaf cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.

  12. Dust the cooled Honey Loaf Cake with powdered sugar for a decorative finish before slicing and serving.
