For the Brown Butter: Place the butter in a large shaloow pan over low/medium heat.
Cook the butter until it begins to brown and has a nutty flavor (stir often)
Immediately pour the butter into 2 separate bowls (¼ of the butter in one and ¾ of the butter in the other).
Place the bowls in the fridge to firm up and cool down.
For the cake: Preheat the oven to 180ºC and line 2 20cm cake tins with baking paper.

Assembling the cake: Slice each cake in half (only if you want 4 layers) and stack them on top of each other, topping each layer with browned butter buttercream.

Meanwhile, place the honey in a small cup and place it in the microwave for 30sec – 1min, then whisk in the cinnamon.
