Set your oven to 325°F.

In a small bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon (optional), and 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda. Whisk together until well mixed.

Prepare a 9-inch cake pan by buttering the sides and bottom, and adding a parchment round to prevent sticking.

In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of room temperature unsalted butter, 1/2 cup of light brown sugar, and 80 ml of honey. Mix on medium-high for about 3 minutes until light and fluffy.

Add 4 large room temperature eggs one at a time while mixing on low, scraping down the bowl as needed after each addition.

Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla to the mixture and mix briefly.

Gradually add the flour mixture while mixing on low until almost combined, then finish mixing with a spatula until smooth.

Transfer the batter to the prepared cake pan and level it out with a spatula.

Bake in the oven at 325°F for 40 minutes, but after 20 minutes, sprinkle 1/4 cup of almonds over the top of the cake.

Let the cake cool in the pan for about 20 minutes before inverting it onto a plate.

Flip the cake onto a cake plate and drizzle with additional honey before serving.
