- 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.

We loved this! I wasn't really in the mood to make anything complicated and this was great. I did mess it up a little...pouring gently is something I'm not good at apparently, so there was crater in the middle...lol. I found it easier to spoon the syrup over. I've even got suggestions to try using cardamom or cloves next time. So you know there'll be a few next times. Thanks!
