Gluten free Greek Honey Cake

My gluten free Greek Honey Cake might just satisfy your craving for Baklava. Because if you are like me, you haven’t been able to find a gluten free Baklava to satisfy the craving. I swear, that’s like finding a unicorn! So go ahead and give my gluten free Greek Honey Cake a try. It is the closest thing to Baklava I’ve had since being diagnosed with celiac. It has all of the sweetness, gooey-ness, subtle spice and crunchy walnuts that Baklava has, plus the buttery cake will melt in your mouth. I may need to make another batch. I am starting to drool just writing about it. There’s no way I am waiting for Rosh Hashanah to make this again! Grab the recipe AtHomeWithShay.com
