Greek Honey Cake

Directions

SYRUP: Combine sugar, honey, and water in a saucepan.

Simmer 5 minutes.

Blend dry ingredients and nuts into creamed mixture.

Pour into a greased and floured 9 x 9 baking pan.

Bake in a 350℉ (180℃) oven until golden and tests done with a wooden pick (about 40 minutes).

Cool 10 minutes. Cut into diamond shapes.

Pour honey syrup over cake.
