Perfect for tea and coffee. This homemade honey cake with prunes is very easy to prepare. I should note that it doesn't lose any of its charm because of it. I make it during the winter holidays—it has the power to warm hearts and bring smiles even in the coldest frost.

2. Melt chocolate, a little honey, and butter over a water bath. It's better to whisk this mixture with a mixer while it's still warm. Take about half a cup of the glaze, mix it with chopped prunes and some of the nuts.
