Instructions

1
|
Combine honey, 1 cup sugar, and water in a saucepan; bring to a simmer and cook 5 minutes. Stir in lemon juice; bring to a boil and cook for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool while you prepare the cake.
2
|
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9-inch square baking pan.
3
|
Combine flour, baking powder, orange zest, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl; set aside.
4
|
Beat remaining 3/4 cup sugar and butter together in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Beat in flour mixture, alternating with milk, beating just until incorporated; stir in walnuts. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
5
|
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, about 40 minutes.
6

Remove cake from oven and poke holes over the surface with a toothpick. Slowly ladle the cooled honey syrup over cake. For best results, set cake aside for 4 to 6 hours to cool and absorb the syrup before slicing and serving.

Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Walnut Toasting Secret 🥜
    Always toast walnuts before adding them to the cake batter to enhance their nutty flavor and prevent soggy texture in the final cake.
  • Honey Syrup Technique 🍯
    Pour the warm honey syrup over the cake while it's still hot from the oven to ensure maximum absorption and incredible moisture.
  • Zest Intensity Hack 🍊
    Grate orange zest directly into the sugar before mixing to release essential oils and intensify the citrus flavor throughout the cake.
  • Uniform Baking Trick 🍰
    Use a light-colored metal cake pan and place it on the center rack to ensure even heat distribution and prevent over-browning.
  • Moisture Preservation Method 💧
    Cover the cake with a clean kitchen towel after adding the honey syrup to help it absorb evenly and retain maximum moisture.
