Honey Cake

Right when you think you have eaten a slice of every type of cake out there...you find this. HONEY CAKE. Oh holy Moses! This is so different and so amazing. There is honey in the cake as well as in the icing. And the icing...that's a whole other story. Did I mention it is a "Cream Cheese Honey Icing"? Yes. You heard right.

I made this yummy cake to celebrate our first cookout of the season last Saturday. My hubs and I had spent the entire day with friends at the cutest little festival called the Buttercup Festival. Afterwards we headed home to crank up the grill to spend time with more friends. This cake was the perfect ending to a perfect day!
