1 cup all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon orange zest
¾ cup butter
¾ cup white sugar
3 eggs
¼ cup milk
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup white sugar
1 cup honey
¾ cup water
1 teaspoon lemon juice

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9-inch square pan. Combine flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and orange rind. Set aside.
Cream butter and 3/4 cup sugar together in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time. Beat in flour mixture alternately with milk, mixing just until incorporated. Stir in walnuts.
Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool while you make the honey syrup.
To make the honey syrup: Combine honey, 1 cup sugar, and water in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook 5 minutes. Stir in lemon juice, bring to a boil and cook for 2 minutes.
Cut cake into diamond shapes and poor honey syrup over the cake.
