Honey Tips
Honey Is Magic
In the days before biology and botany were understood, people thought it was a special kind of magic that turned flower nectar into honey.
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°. Coat an 8-inch square baking dish with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together first eight ingredients. In a large bowl, beat together remaining ingredients with an electric mixer. Add the dry ingredients and mix on low speed until blended. Transfer batter to baking dish and bake 30-35 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean when inserted in center of cake. Let cool and serve with sauce.
