Steps
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and prepare three 9-inch cake pans by lining them with parchment paper and greasing the sides with butter.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened salted butter and granulated sugar until fluffy and pale, about 3–5 minutes.
- Mix in the raw honey and vegetable oil until thoroughly combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, and sour cream until smooth. Gradually pour this into the butter mixture and blend well.
- Sift together the flour, masa harina, baking powder, kosher salt, and cornmeal.
- Alternately add the dry mixture and the egg mixture to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with dry ingredients.
- Divide the batter between the prepared pans and bake for 28–33 minutes, rotating the pans halfway.
- Once baked, cool the cakes in the pans for 10–15 minutes, then transfer to cooling racks.
- Prepare the frosting by beating the Kerry Gold Irish butter until creamy, then gradually add powdered sugar and honey.
- Layer the cakes with frosting and coat the entire cake with the remaining frosting.
- Garnish with polenta and drizzle extra honey before serving.
