Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and prepare three 9-inch cake pans with parchment and grease.
- Cream the salted butter until smooth, then gradually add the sugar and beat until light and fluffy.
- Mix in honey and olive oil until the batter is cohesive and smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, buttermilk, and sour cream until bubbly.
- Sift together the flour, masa harina, salt, and baking powder, then mix in cornmeal gently.
- Alternate adding wet and dry mixtures to the creamed butter until just combined.
- Divide the batter among the pans and bake for 28-33 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool the cakes in pans for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Prepare frosting by beating butter until creamy, then add honey, salt, and powdered sugar.
- Assemble the cake by layering and frosting between each layer, and top with optional polenta and honey.
