    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)

    • Syrup Soak Technique 🍯
      Pour the honey syrup over the hot cake while it's just out of the oven to ensure maximum absorption and moisture retention.
    • Nut Preparation Hack 🥜
      Toast the walnuts lightly before chopping to enhance their nutty flavor and prevent them from becoming soggy in the cake.
    • Citrus Zest Maximization 🍊
      Use a microplane grater for the orange and lemon zest to extract maximum essential oils and flavor without the bitter white pith.
    • Even Baking Strategy 🍰
      Use a light-colored metal baking pan and line the bottom with parchment paper to ensure uniform heat distribution and easy cake removal.
    • Syrup Temperature Control 🌡️
      Prepare the honey syrup in advance and let it cool to slightly warm temperature before pouring over the cake to prevent over-soaking.
