a honey cake that has been baked in our family in Ukraine for at least 3 generations
Preheat the oven to 180°C (top/bottom heat). Line a deep baking tray with baking paper, and either grease the edges or cover them with baking paper. Sift the flour, baking powder, and gingerbread spice into a bowl. Combine the water, honey, margarine, and sugar in a saucepan and stir briefly. Bring to a boil, then let cool. Beat 4 eggs, one at a time, into the flour mixture, along with the walnuts and candied orange peel. Pour in the cooled water-honey mixture and mix thoroughly until it forms a smooth, thick mixture. Spread this mixture evenly on the baking tray and bake for about 40 minutes.
