Instructions

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and grease a 10-inch Bundt pan.
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Stir in the honey and cinnamon until well incorporated.
Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the glaze: whisk together the powdered sugar, honey, and milk until smooth.
Once the cake has cooled, drizzle the honey glaze over the top and garnish with chopped nuts if desired.
Serve at room temperature and enjoy!

Notes

For a vegan version, use plant-based butter and eggs, and substitute the milk in the glaze with a non-dairy alternative like almond milk.

Add chopped walnuts, pecans, or almonds into the batter for extra flavor and texture.

For a spicier twist, add a pinch of nutmeg or cloves to the cinnamon for a deeper flavor.
