Honey Walnut Cake

This Honey Walnut Cake Recipe is one of those recipes that are great with a hot cup of tea or coffee. It is a vintage recipe for a nice honey and walnut combination. 

This time of year I am loving warm, and tasty desserts that embrace me like a warm blanket. This is a vintage recipe that my mom had in her recipe file. The result is like a shortbread. The cake is a little denser than the cakes of today, but it is delicious!

 

This Honey Walnut cake is make with walnuts, honey and makes a cookie-like dessert, similar to a shortbread.

Hi Friends!

There has been a chill in the air here in Orange County and it now truly feels like how fall should feel. I love pulling out the scarves and boots to keep warm and then warming up with something tasty baking in the oven.If you are a fan of The Hobbit, you may have heard about the Twice Baked Honey Cake that they took with them on their journey.

While I am not sure if they had this type of cake in mind, I can see where the texture of the cake might be great food for traveling. While it is only baked once, this is like a coffee cake and scone kind of bread, almost like a shortbread.

This recipe is one that was in my mom's recipe file box, but my mom was not one to bake so I do not remember it. What I love about this cake, is that it only takes a few ingredients, making the preparation time minimal.

    This cake looks divine! I can't wait to try it! The Hobbit is one of my favorite books. 🙂 I did go shopping, but only to buy new clothes for my daughter. Nothing for me!

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a self-proclaimed foodie and have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was little. I loved baking cookies with my mother and grandma as a child, and later making dinners for my parents to foster my passion while in high school. I also had a passion for organizing and keeping things tidy.
