   In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

   Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

   Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove it from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack.

   In a small saucepan, combine the Greek honey and water. Heat over low heat until the honey has melted and the mixture is smooth.
