Step 1
Preheat the oven to 175°C. Coat the inside of the cake pan with 1 tsp (5 gr) softened butter.

Step 3
Whisk the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt together in a mixing bowl.

In a second mixing bowl, whisk ½ cup (110 gr) melted butter with 150 ml honey. Whisk in the eggs one at a time, followed by the milk and vanilla extract.

Step 5
Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and fold just until no dry streaks remain. Fold in the toasted walnuts, then transfer the batter to the prepared pan and level the surface.

Step 6
Bake at 175°C until the cake is golden and a skewer inserted in the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs.

Step 7
Cool the cake in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack.
