Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 tbsp honey Use a spoon to measure for consistent sweetness.
  • 4 tbsp room temperature/soft butter Softened for easier blending.
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar Add gradually to achieve desired thickness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Soften butter for 10-15 seconds in the microwave if it’s cold.
  2. Pour honey into a bowl with the butter and stir until smooth.
  3. Add powdered sugar and stir until smooth.
  4. Add more powdered sugar for a thicker spread.
  5. Spread it on warm lemon cake with a knife or brush.
  6. Serve extra on the side for guests to add more.

Notes

Store the spread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. If firm, let it sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before using. Do not freeze; freezing changes the emulsion and texture.
