Honey Cakes (Melomakarona)

We beat the oil with the sugar. We dilute the bicarbonate soda and the baking powder in the cognac and  pour this mixture in the oil and the sugar. We add the rest of the ingredients ( except for the flour ) and mix them well. We pour the  flour little by little ( perhaps  not all of it )  and knead until the dough doesn’t get stuck on our hands. We shape the honey cakes, put them in an oiled baking pan and bake them in a medium temperature for half an hour. We prepare the syrup and let  it be cold. As soon as we remove the honey cakes from the oven, we dip them in the syrup and put them in a platter. We sprinkle them with ground walnut pith.
