==Instructions==
#Heat oven to 325 degrees with rack in center. Butter an 8-by-8-by-2-inch baking pan. Lightly dust with flour, tapping out excess. Set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and nutmeg, and set aside. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and vanilla, and set aside.
#In bowl of electric mixer fitted with paddle attachment, beat butter on medium-high until light and fluffy, scraping down sides of bowl as necessary, about 3 minutes. Add sugar and honey; beat mixture until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
#Add egg mixture a few tablespoons at a time, beating well for 2 to 3 minutes after each addition. Raise speed to high, and beat, scraping down sides of bowl as necessary, until very thick and light in color, 4 to 5 minutes.
#Add flour mixture in 3 batches, beating just to combine after each addition. Pour batter into prepared pan.
#Bake until a wooden skewer inserted in the center comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack for 5 minutes. Turn cake out of pan and place on the wire rack, right side up, to cool completely.
#Transfer cake to serving platter. Using an offset spatula, spread the frosting evenly over the top of the cake.
