Ingredients

Scale

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
3 large eggs, room temperature
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup brewed coffee (cooled)
8 oz cream cheese, softened
2 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two round cake pans and line them with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour and baking powder. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes).
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in honey and vanilla.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture alternately with brewed coffee; mix until just combined.
Divide the batter between the pans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks.
For the frosting, beat cream cheese until smooth, then gradually add powdered sugar along with cooled coffee until creamy.
Frost cooled cakes as desired.
