Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup ground walnuts
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup water
Chopped walnuts for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, ground walnuts, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Cream Butter and Sugar: In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Prepare the Honey Glaze: While the cake is baking, combine honey and water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened.
Glaze the Cake: Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes. Drizzle the honey glaze over the warm cake and let it soak in.
Serve: Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing. Garnish with chopped walnuts if desired.
