I made this cake for my daughter's school project "Greek Food Day". As usual she gave me NO notice that this project was due "tomorrow" so I had no time to make Baklava and I needed something in a hurry. It worked out well because I had all the ingredients except walnuts on hand, so I omitted nuts altogether. I used fresh orange zest and it gave the cake a heavenly flavor especially with the cinnamon! I didn't have a full cup of honey so I cut the glaze recipe in half. As it turned out, the full glaze recipe would've been way too much and half was just right. I took the advice of another reviewer and didn't boil the glaze...seems strange to boil honey... and I just simmered it until the white sugar had dissolved. I was a little disappointed in how small the cake was... it didn't rise much at all which was surprising since this little 9-inch cake calls for THREE eggs, baking powder and salt. Aside from that, it was a good cake and the kids loved it. I don't know that I'll make it again, but it was very good for what I needed.
