~ * ORANGE HONEY CAKE WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING RECIPE * ~

INGREDIENTS
Orange Honey Cake:
200g (13 tbsp) soft salted butter
100g (½ cup) caster sugar or soft brown sugar
100g (⅓ cup) runny honey, plus extra for decoration
3 large eggs
200g (1 ½ cup) self-raising flour
Zest of ½ an orange

Vanilla Cream Cheese Frosting:
100g (6 ½ tbsp) soft salted butter
100g (3 ½ oz) full-fat cream cheese, such as Philadelphia
300g (2 ½ cups) icing sugar
1 tsp vanilla bean paste, or 2 tsp vanilla extract

INSTRUCTIONS
Orange Honey Cake:
1) Preheat your oven – 180 C / 160 C fan / 350 F / gas mark 4.
2) Grease and line a 20 x 20 cm (8 x 8 in) square cake tin.
3) In a large bowl, beat together your soft butter and sugar for 2 minutes.
4) Add the honey and beat for a further 2 minutes.
5) Stir your eggs in one at a time until the mixture is fluffy.
6) Tip in the flour and orange zest and gently whisk in until JUST combined into a smooth cake batter. (Over-mixing can make your cake come out tough or chewy, and no one wants that!)
7) Pour the mixture into your prepared tin and smooth over the top.
8) Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. By this time the cake should be risen, and a skewer inserted into the centre should be clean when removed.
9) Remove the cake from the oven and allow to cool.
10) Meanwhile, you can make your frosting.

Vanilla Cream Cheese Frosting:
1) Beat together the butter, the vanilla and half the icing sugar until combined.
2) Add the remaining sugar and the cream cheese and beat vigorously until fully incorporated and pale in colour. (It may be slightly too soft at this stage, if so, chilling it in the fridge for 30-40 minutes should bring it right!)
3) Once the cake is completely cool and your icing is your preferred consistency, spread the frosting thickly all over the top.
4) If you like, drizzle over a little extra honey, or grate over some extra orange zest.
5) Now just slice and enjoy!

BE A MAVERICK: this honey cake would be similarly delicious with the zest of a lemon or grapefruit instead of orange!

This orange honey cake will keep well for up to 3 days in an airtight container, ideally somewhere cool. However, it is always best enjoyed fresh!
