Honey Bundt Cake

The warm notes of cinnamon and honey make it a natural fit for holiday mornings or as the perfect finish to a Christmas feast.

Use butter and dust with flour for a clean release. Also, letting the cake cool for a solid twenty minutes before flipping is key to avoiding a sticky mess.
