Greek honey cake is the one soaked in spiced syrup so it stays moist for days, the kind that gets better on the counter. I pour the warm syrup over the cool cake so it drinks it in.

The cake is simple to make and can be served alone or accompanied by a dollop of yogurt or whipped cream. It’s an alluring treat that captures the essence of traditional Greek baking.
