Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup clover honey
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tbsp white distilled vinegar
  • 8 oz Cool Whip (thawed)
  • 1 cup sour cream (Daisy brand)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your baking pan by greasing it and lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and clover honey until well blended.
  3. In another bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and vinegar. Gradually combine this dry mixture with the wet ingredients while stirring continuously.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow cooling completely.
  5. For the frosting, combine thawed Cool Whip and sour cream in a separate bowl until smooth.
  6. Once cooled, slice the cake layers horizontally if needed and stack them with an even layer of frosting in between each layer. Cover the top and sides of the cake with frosting.
  7. Optional: Sprinkle leftover crumbs from the cake layers on top for added texture.
