This is a tasty and simple glaze you can put on your choice of cake. Makes for a light, but sweet topping if you're trying to avoid a heavy frosting. Enjoy!

Ingredients:
1/3 cup honey (Try smokey sage!)
1/4 cup light-brown sugar
2 2/3 ounces (1/3 cup) unsalted butter
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions:
Bring honey, brown sugar, and butter to a boil in a small saucepan, stirring until sugar dissolves. Add vanilla, and remove from heat. Let cool for 1 minute.
Brush a coat of honey glaze on the flat side of each cake half. Gently press halves together, and let set upright for 5 minutes. (If they don't stay together, place a small bowl over top to hold the 2 sides together while glaze sets.) Carefully transfer beehive to a rack set over parchment. Spoon remaining warm honey glaze over cake until the cake is completely covered. Let stand until set.
