Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 160°C (320°F) and prepare your baking pans by lining them with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine sugar, honey, eggs, sunflower oil, and ground cardamom (or cinnamon). Whisk until smooth and glossy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Sift in the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  4. Gradually pour in the brewed Earl Grey tea, stirring gently to achieve a smooth batter.
  5. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared pans and level the tops.
  6. Bake for 40-45 minutes for larger pans or 30 minutes for smaller ones, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of honey on each warm cake as soon as they come out of the oven.
  8. Transfer the cakes to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
