Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat together sugar, honey, and butter until creamy.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine flour and baking soda. Gradually add to the wet mixture.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Allow the cake to cool completely.
  7. For the frosting, whip the sour cream and heavy cream together with vanilla until soft peaks form.
  8. Layer the cake with the frosting between each layer and on top.
  9. Refrigerate for a few hours before serving to allow flavors to meld.

Notes

Letting the cake sit in the fridge enhances the flavors. Serve with fresh berries for a colorful presentation.
