How to Make Greek Baklava Walnut Honey Glazed Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease and flour a 9x9 inch square baking pan.
  3. 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.
  4. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  5. Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  6. 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.
  7. Fold in 1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts.
  8. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  9. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the cake cool in the pan for 20 minutes before slicing.
  11. While the cake cools, prepare the honey glaze:
  12. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup honey, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup water.
  13. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon.
  14. Stir in 2 tablespoons lemon juice and simmer for another 2 minutes.
  15. Once the cake has cooled slightly, slice into diamond shapes and drizzle generously with the warm honey glaze.
