How to Make Greek Baklava Walnut Honey Glazed Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour a 9x9 inch square baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon orange zest. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1/2 cup milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Fold in 1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 20 minutes before slicing.
- While the cake cools, prepare the honey glaze:
- In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup honey, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup water.
- Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons lemon juice and simmer for another 2 minutes.
- Once the cake has cooled slightly, slice into diamond shapes and drizzle generously with the warm honey glaze.
