Cooking process:
- In a saucepan, combine 150 grams of butter, 200 grams of sugar, and 2 tablespoons of honey. Place the saucepan on the stove and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Once the mixture starts boiling, add 1 teaspoon of baking soda and mix well. Remove from heat immediately. The mixture will foam up; this is normal. Allow it to cool until it takes on a caramel color.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well with a mixer after each addition.
- Gradually add 320 grams of sifted flour into the mixture, stirring until a smooth dough forms.
- Take half of the dough and spread it evenly on a standard baking tray lined with baking paper, using a spatula or damp hand to level it.
- Bake the cake in an oven preheated to 200 degrees Celsius (about 390 degrees Fahrenheit) for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. While the cake is still warm, divide it into three equal parts. Repeat the same process with the remaining half of the dough to make a total of 6 cakes.
- For the cream, mix 600 grams of sour cream with 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar until well combined. No whipping is required.
- Spread the cream evenly on both sides of each cake layer, then stack them on top of each other. Coat the sides and top of the assembled cake with the remaining cream.
- Grind the cake scraps in a blender and sprinkle them over the top of the cake. Allow the cake to soak for some time before serving.
This honey cake recipe is simple yet yields a deliciously tender and flavorful treat that melts in your mouth. Enjoy!
