Q: Can I make this cake ahead of time? A: Yes, you can bake the cake a day in advance. Just store it in an airtight container at room temperature and frost or decorate it right before serving.
Q: What can I use instead of honey? A: If you prefer, you can use maple syrup or agave nectar as a substitute for honey.
Q: Can I add nuts to this recipe? A: Absolutely! Chopped nuts such as almonds, walnuts, or pecans would add a nice crunch to the cake. Just fold them into the batter before baking.
