Can you believe it’s time for another dessert challenge? We either this month went by super fast. This month the challenge includes walnuts and honey.  So I created a Honey Walnut Coffee Cake.
This is the time of year to entertain and enjoy family and friends for the holidays. This honey cake is more of a retro dessert and it reminds me of mom baking coffee cake for her friends.

I love these dessert challenges from Cheryl because she forces us to come up with an original dessert recipe
I decided on this one to make it more like a combination between a coffee cake and a scone.
It’s really quite simple to put together. It truly tastes like a cross between a scone and a coffee cake. Perfect for your cup of tea or coffee.
The hardest part for me was deciding what to call it. Walnut cake was too plain and I wanted to incorporate a sweetness to it, which in this case is honey.
What would you call something that’s a cross between a scone and a coffee cake? Do people even call it Coffee cake anymore? I figured I would go with coffee cake on this one. Either way, it went fast at our house.
This is it before it goes into the oven.

Honey and Walnut Coffee Cake

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 egg
2 cups flour
2/3 cup walnut halves, chopped
2 tablespoons honey
Cream together butter, sugar, and egg. Combine flour gradually. Add walnuts. Place half of the dough into a greased cake pan.
Drizzle honey over the surface of the dough. Cover with remaining dough.
Bake in 350° oven for 40-45 minutes. Cool completely before cutting.

Tips for Making Honey Walnut Cake

  • Use an electric mixer to make the dough as it is dryer batter, almost like shortbread.
  • The cake is done with a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Chop the walnuts ahead of time. I like to keep pre-chopped walnuts on hand in an airtight container in my pantry at the beginning of the baking season. It will save you a good amount of time.
It is really good. Nest time I make it, I am going to use a square pan and make bars out of it.

    This looks amazing, and it sounds even better! I still call them coffee cakes, but now that you mention it, I haven’t heard the word used in quite a while.
