Ingredients:
5 tablespoons butter
3 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup flour, plus
1 tablespoon flour
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup honey
1/2 cup slivered almonds
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Directions:
Butter a 8″x8″ square glass baking dish.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Beat the eggs, sugar and vanilla together until the color”lightens” slightly; add melted butter and mix well.
Combine the flour and baking powder, then add to the egg mixture; mixing gently but thoroughly.
Pour into the prepared dish and bake 12 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare the topping by melting the butter in a small saucepan, then adding the sugar, honey, almonds and cinnamon.
Bring to a boil, stirring constantly until thickened a bit (it doesn’t need to reach a particular temperature).
After the 12 minutes of baking, take cake out of the oven (it will look a lot like custard at this point) and gently pour the topping onto the cake.
Return cake to the oven and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes.
