- Serve chilled and enjoy this sweet moist cake
Add lemon/lime juice instead of vinegar
This cake can be also made with regular vanilla cake
Do NOT pour a lot of honey water at once. Allow it to soak, the cake absorbs it and does the trick
Do NOT overbeat the mixture
You can also use a square tin to bake the cake
