Mienski Honey Cake

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Combine flour with salt in a medium bowl and set aside.

Heat honey and butter together in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally until the butter melts completely.

Crack eggs into a large bowl and whisk together with sugar until the mixture becomes pale and foamy, about 2–3 minutes.

Pour the warm honey-butter mixture into the egg mixture and stir gently to combine.

Add vinegar essence, cinnamon, and vanilla to the wet ingredients and stir until evenly distributed.

Fold the flour mixture into the wet ingredients using a spatula or wooden spoon, stirring until just combined and no dry flour remains.

Pour the batter into a greased 8-inch round or square baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.

Remove from oven and allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
