Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 9-inch round cake pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl and mix well. Set aside.

In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer, cream together 1/2 cup butter and 3/4 cup honey for 1 minute. Add eggs 1 at a time, beat until blended. Add 1/4 C almond milk and Vanilla extract. Add flour mixture to butter mixture and beat until creamy.

Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool on a baking rack.

Beat the remaining 1/4 cup butter in a medium bowl for 1 to 2 minutes or until creamy. Add remaining 3 tablespoons of almond milk to butter and beat until blended. Add cocoa powder, beat until blended, scraping down the sides of the bowl.

Slowly add the remaining 1/4 cup honey while beating on medium speed. Once cake is cooled, evenly spread with frosting and cut into 12 slices.
