Ingredients

¾ cup Crisco® All-Vegetable Shortening
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup sugar
1 large egg
2½ cup all-purpose flour
1 ½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
¾ tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp ground cloves
¾ cup liquid honey
1 cup walnuts chopped medium and fine
1 cup hot water

For the Topping

3 tbsp melted butter or margarine
¾ cup walnuts chopped medium
⅓ cup liquid honey

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325 ℉. Grease a 12 x 8 x 1¾ inch baking dish, then line it with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, beat the Crisco® and vanilla extract until fluffy. Beat in the sugar gradually until incorporated. Beat in the egg.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt and the spices. Add this to the mixing bowl. Beat, starting on low speed, then speeding up until incorporated. The batter will be thick at this point.
Add honey and walnuts. Beat just until distributed with the rest of the ingredients. Stir in the hot water. Pour and scrape the batter into the prepared pan.
Bake at 325 ℉ for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted at the enter of the cakes comes out clean. While the cake is baking make the topping. Beat together butter, honey and walnuts.
Carefully remove the cake from the oven, and drop dollops of the topping all over the top. Use a spoon or spatula to spread. Broil the cake briefly, just until the top is bubbly. Watch the cake closely to avoid scorching.
Allow the cake to cool slightly. Serve.

Notes

It is important to watch the cake closely during broiling. Every oven is different , and the the broiling may only take a few moments, so do not walk away.
