Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Almond flour
• 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground cloves
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 3 large Eggs
• 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
• 0.5 cups Whole milk
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cups Chopped walnuts
• 0.75 cups Honey
• 0.75 cups Water
• 0.5 cups Sugar (for syrup)
• 1 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoons Lemon zest
• 0.25 cups Chopped pistachios (optional garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or pan.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and ground cloves. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar together until light and frothy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Gradually stir in the vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract until combined.

Step 5

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in batches, mixing until a smooth batter forms. Fold in the chopped walnuts.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 7

While the cake is baking, prepare the syrup by combining honey, water, sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 8

Once the cake comes out of the oven, immediately pour the warm syrup evenly over the hot cake. Use a skewer or toothpick to puncture the cake in several spots to help absorb the syrup.

Step 9

Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan, letting the syrup soak through.

Step 10

Optional: Garnish with chopped pistachios for added color and texture before slicing into squares or diamonds.

Step 11

Serve at room temperature and enjoy!
