Classic honey cake with boiled condensed milk and sour cream

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 14 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake a classic honey cake with boiled condensed milk and sour cream? Measure out the required ingredients for the dough. Honey can be used either liquid or thickened.

2. STEP 2

   

   Sift the flour through a sieve to enrich it with oxygen. This will allow the cakes to rise better during baking.

3. STEP 3

   

   In a small saucepan or heatproof container, whisk the eggs and sugar until smooth.

4. STEP 4

   

   Add honey and butter, stir lightly. It is advisable that the butter be soft, then it will melt easier and faster.

5. STEP 5

   

   Place the container in a water bath. To do this, pour water into a larger saucepan and place the container with the resulting mixture on it. The water in the lower pan should be boiling moderately and not touch the bottom of the upper pan. Stirring constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling, bring the mixture until the honey and butter are completely dissolved.

6. STEP 6

   

   Add baking soda to the resulting mixture and mix well.

7. STEP 7

   

   As a result of the interaction of soda with the components of the mixture, a fluffy foam will appear on the surface. Hold the mixture for another 1-2 minutes and remove from the water bath.

8. STEP 8

   

   Pour the resulting mass into a suitable container for kneading the dough, wait until it cools to a warm state. Add sifted flour and mix thoroughly. Knead the dough with a spoon.

9. STEP 9

   

   The dough should be viscous, not stiff, but not liquid.

10. STEP 10

    

    Draw a circle on the parchment using a plate of the desired diameter. Form a thin crust by spreading the dough slightly outside the circle. Level the dough with a damp spoon. Later, I smoothed the dough with a spatula, so the top of the cake turns out smoother.

11. STEP 11

    

    Bake the crust in an oven preheated to 160-170C until golden brown, about 5-6 minutes. Adjust the baking time based on the operating characteristics of your oven. Trim the edges of the cake using the same plate. My cake diameter is 19 cm. The trimmings can be used for external decoration of the cake.

12. STEP 12

    

    Bake cakes using all the honey dough in the same way. Choose the thickness of the cakes as desired. If the cakes are thicker, their quantity will be smaller. These honey cakes, unlike the classic version, are soft.

13. STEP 13

    

    To prepare the cream, use chilled ingredients to help the cream whip better. Take boiled condensed milk of good quality, without vegetable fats.

14. STEP 14

    

    Beat the sour cream with a mixer until fluffy for 3-4 minutes.

15. STEP 15

    

    Add boiled condensed milk to the sour cream in small portions, beat until smooth. At the end of beating, add vanillin.

16. STEP 16

    

    The cream turns out moderately thick.

17. STEP 17

    

    Place the crust on a flat plate. Lubricate the cake generously with the resulting cream.

18. STEP 18

    

    By stacking the cakes on top of each other and spreading with cream, assemble the entire cake. Cover the top and sides of the honey cake with cream.

19. STEP 19

    

    Grind the cake scraps into crumbs using a blender.

20. STEP 20

    

    Cover the top and sides of the cake with crumbs. You can choose a different cake finish if you wish. Place the honey cake in the refrigerator so that the cakes are well soaked in the cream. It is better to leave it overnight, then the cake will be especially tender and soaked.

21. STEP 21

    

    Before serving, decorate the cake in any way you like. Bon appetit!
