Preheat oven 350 degrees Fahrenheit
Mix the cake mix with 3 eggs, water, and butter, instead of oil. Bake per instructions on box. I used two, eight inch cast iron skillets, to bake in. So measure the cake batter out before starting to pour. Equal amounts in both.
Crush the walnuts a bit and set aside.
In a pot, combine walnuts, 1/3 cup sugar, 2 cups honey, and Bring to a boil, stirring until sugar is dissolved, add the vanilla extract, then reduce heat and boil additional 4 min without stirring. Remove from heat and let syrup cool.
When the cakes come out of oven, move one to a plate, leave the other in the skillet or pan. The one removed will be the bottom.
Add honey mixture to the bottom cake, along with half the honey mixture. Premeasure before the cakes are done.
Add top cake to the one with walnuts and honey which is on the plate.
Add the rest of the walnuts and honey mixture to top. Let rest and cool.
Cut into diamond or rectangle shapes, and serve or serve as traditionally cut cake.
I hope you enjoy!
