Honey cake is traditionally served on the first night of Rosh Hashanah to symbolize the sweetness of the year to come. But since it's so delicious, you may find yourself making it all year-round. You'll love the honey and sugar that contrasts with the cinnamon, strong black coffee, and chopped up walnuts. Not only is it a total showstopper, it also takes less than an hour to make.
