Zubereitung von Honey Soaked Walnut Cake

  1. **Make the Honey Syrup:** In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup honey and ½ cup water. Heat over medium heat, stirring until honey dissolves completely.
  2. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in ¼ cup orange liqueur (such as Grand Marnier or Cointreau). Set aside to cool.
  4. **Prepare the Cake:** Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch tube pan.
  5. In a large bowl, beat 4 large eggs until light and fluffy. Gradually add 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, beating until creamy.
  6. Add ½ cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter and the zest of 1 large orange. Mix well.
  7. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1 cup chopped walnuts.
  8. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Stir in ½ cup plain yogurt.
  9. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Once cooled, gently prick the top of the cake all over with a toothpick or fork.
  12. Slowly pour the cooled honey syrup over the cake, allowing it to soak in completely.
  13. Let the cake stand for at least 3 hours (preferably overnight) before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
