Greek Honey Cake

Ingredients:

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon orange zest

3/4 cup butter

3/4 cup white sugar

3 eggs

1/4 cup milk

1 cup chopped walnuts

Honey Syrup:

1 cup white sugar

1 cup honey

3/4 cup water

1 teaspoon lemon juice

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9 inch

square pan. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and orange

rind. Set aside.

2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and 3/4 cup sugar until light

and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Beat in the flour mixture

alternately with the milk, mixing just until incorporated. Stir in the

walnuts.

3. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes,

or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Allow to cool for 15 minutes, then cut into diamond shapes. Pour Honey Syrup

over the cake.

4. For the Honey Syrup: In a saucepan, combine honey, 1 cup sugar and water.

Bring to a simmer and cook 5 minutes. Stir in lemon juice, bring to a boil

and cook for 2 minutes.

Note:

I used about 1/2 of the honey sauce ... It just seemed too much to me.
