Honey Walnut Tea Cake
Having some ladies over for a meeting or just to visit? This Honey Walnut Tea Cake is what you’ll want to serve with some delicious tea.
This Honey Walnut Tea Cake is not a sweet cake. If you want to sweeten it up a bit I suggest adding my easy to make HOT FUDGE SAUCE. Add a drizzle or pour into small containers for dipping.

Thanks for hosting again Sheryl. I love your dessert challenges. Your honey walnut tea cake looks scrumptious.
Your cake looks so wonderful! I am loving the ingredients this month and I am really looking forward to next month! Thanks for hosting!
I love these challenges and your cake looks fantastic! This would fit in perfectly for a brunch, not overly fancy but tastes amazing.
How decadent!! I love being part of this challenge, thanks!
Would I be able to use a bundt pan for this recipe?
I think so Trish. Keep in mind it’s only a one layer cake. It will make a thin bundt cake unless you have a small pan.
