Honey & Lemon Pound Cake

Dense, buttery pound cake is elevated with generous spoonfuls of 100% Australian honey and a bright lift of fresh lemon. The honey brings a natural, floral sweetness and depth of flavour, creating a beautifully moist crumb that feels rich yet balanced. Finished with a simple honey-lemon drizzle, it’s a quietly impressive bake that celebrates real, pure ingredients.

  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 3/4 cup Bee Delicate Ironbark Honey
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup Greek yogurt

Honey Lemon Glaze
  • 1 cup icing sugar (sifted)
  • 1/4 cup Bee Delicate Ironbark Honey

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 160°C fan-forced. Grease and lightly flour a bundt tin (or small cake tin).
  • In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  • In a large bowl, cream the butter until light and fluffy. Gradually add honey and beat until smooth.
  • Beat in eggs one at a time, followed by Greek yogurt, lemon zest, lemon juice and vanilla.
  • Fold in the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Pour batter into prepared tin and bake for 45–55 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
  • Cool in the tin for 10–15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Honey Lemon Glaze
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the honey and lemon juice until well combined.
  • Gradually add the sifted icing sugar, starting with ½ cup, whisking until smooth.
  • Continue adding icing sugar a little at a time until the glaze reaches a thick but pourable consistency.
  • Stir in the lemon zest.
  • Drizzle or spoon over cooled cake, allowing the glaze to set slightly before serving.
