Notes

If you are using oven, preheat the oven to 180°C and bake in the same temperature for 40-45 minutes till tooth pick inserted comes out clean.
Baking time will vary so always keep an eye after 40 minutes
Cake will taste good next day after it has absorbed all the honey syrup.
You can adjust the sweetness in honey syrup. Usually store bought ones will be more sweet. Mine was mild and perfect for us.
You can replace wheat flour to maida and reduce the water a little.
