This cake has the most amazing texture and the honey lemon syrup is fabulous. The cake is naturally gluten free also! A friend of mine baked this cake and it was the best polenta cake I ever tasted. I begged and begged for the recipe and finally she gave it up.

1 cup salted butter, soft
½ cup sugar
3 large eggs
zest of 2 lemons
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup salted butter, soft
½ cup sugar
3 large eggs
zest of 2 lemons
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

½ cup honey
