Greek Honey Lemon Cake With A Twist

This is such a fantastic cake!! Golden brown and slightly crispy on the outside, bright yellow and moist on the inside. The combination of lemon and honey flavours in the cake is really great. The sesame seeds give it a added twist to it. From the cookbook desserts by rosemary wilkinson. Please do not try this recipe, i have messed it up somehow and i can't solve it. So sorry.
