Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line with parchment paper.

  2. Step 2

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the 1.5 cups flour, 1.5 tsp baking powder, and 0.5 tsp salt.

  3. Step 3

    In a large bowl, cream the 0.5 cup butter and 0.75 cup honey until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the 2 eggs one at a time.

  4. Step 4

    Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture alternately with the 0.5 cup milk, starting and ending with flour. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.

  5. Step 5

    Fold in the 1 cup mixed nuts. Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top.

  6. Step 6

    Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 35-40 minutes. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
