Honey Walnut Cake

Honey walnut cake layers paired with a honey cinnamon buttercream and honey glazed walnuts.
It all started with the Baklava Cake I made a few years ago. As soon as I tasted those honey walnut cake layers I knew they needed to shine on their own!
The Baklava Cake was amazing, but it’s a little (a lot) more involved with that baklava layer. It’s probably a bit intimidating to people and I did not want you to miss out on those delicious cake layers.
So, the Honey Walnut Cake was born.
