Directions
Greek Honey Cake,A Greek cake that tastes a little like the much more complicated Greek dessert, baklava. Posted for ZWT #6.,I left out the nuts, I don’t like nuts and left out the orange zest and lemon juice. This is divine! Its no wonder the gods want it for offering. Lol,The cake itself was great until I added the honey syrup suggested in the recipe, which required 1 cup of honey and 1 cup of sugar. Do not add sugar to the syrup at all! I did, I trusted the recipe online, and my cake was sickly sweet, I had to throw it away! Cant trust online recipes.
