Walnut Honey Cake

Preparation

1. Step 1

   Preheat the oven to 350°F, with a rack in the center. Spread the walnut in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Toast in the oven until fragrant, tossing occasionally, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate; let cool. Pulse in a food processor until finely chopped.

   Step 2

   Butter and flour an 8 1/2-inch springform pan; set aside. In a large bowl, combine the honey and applesauce; whisk until the honey is mostly dissolved. Add the eggs, and whisk until fully combined.

   Step 3

   Into a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, and ginger. Stir into the honey mixture. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the walnuts.

   Step 4

   Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake the cake until golden brown on top and a cake tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 55 minutes.

   Step 5

   Let cool on a wire rack until the sides of the cake begin to pull away from the pan, about 15 minutes. Unmold onto a serving plate. While it is still warm, use an offset spatula to gently spread the remaining honey on top. Serve warm.
