    Preparation Steps

    1

    Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a cake pan.

    2

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, ground walnuts, and baking powder.

    3

    In another bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Then, add the honey, vanilla extract, and grated lemon zest.

    4

    Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, mixing well after each addition. Gradually blend in the dry ingredients.

    5

    Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

    6

    Meanwhile, prepare the honey glaze: Heat the honey over low heat until liquid, but do not boil.

    7

    Once the cake has baked and cooled, drizzle the honey glaze over the top and let it soak in.

    8

    Decorate the cake with walnut halves and lemon zest. Let it rest for at least 30 minutes before serving.
