This Honey Walnut Cake Recipe is one of those recipes that are great with a hot cup of tea or coffee. This time of year I am loving warm, comfort food that embraces me like a warm blanket. 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 short bread. 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.
