Honey cake with sour cream and butter cream

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 5 hr 15 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   To prepare the dough for our cake, we need to beat the eggs. Add sugar, butter and honey to them. In a water bath, stirring, bring the resulting mixture until smooth. Next, remove from the water bath and add slaked soda. Add flour little by little. Mix well. The dough should become viscous and sticky.

2. STEP 2

   

   Grease the baking container with oil. Place a fifth of our dough in a round baking container. If there is none, place it on a baking sheet. And using a round mold (or a large-diameter lid), we form the dough into a circle slightly larger in size than the mold.

3. STEP 3

   

   Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. We bake our shortbread for about 6-8 minutes. Shape the shortbread into a circle using the same mold or lid. Bake and cut off 4 more shortbreads.

4. STEP 4

   

   While the cakes are cooling, mix and beat the ingredients for the cream. Grind the remaining crumbs from the cakes in a blender.

5. STEP 5

   

   Grease our cake layers and sides with the resulting cream. Sprinkle the remaining crumbs on top. Place the cake in the refrigerator to soak for 4 hours.

Over the weekend I baked a cake according to your recipe. I baked the cakes at 180 degrees for 6 minutes. The cakes rose in the oven and became about 2 times larger, so next time I will roll them out even thinner. At first the cream seemed liquid to me (I used sour cream 24% and cream 33, but when greasing the cakes it did not spread. The cake stood in the refrigerator overnight, the children took a sample in the morning with a cup of tea. The son said that the cream was similar to his favorite ice cream. The cake came out tender, soft and very tasty! Thank you very much for the wonderful recipe! I will repeat it.

I also make honey cake very often. I tried a lot of different recipes. I found a couple that were more or less suitable for the price. Your recipe is also not expensive, but to make it even cheaper, I use artificial honey instead of natural honey. The taste is no worse than from natural honey. I also want to say that you need to quench the baking soda with vinegar, as the shortbread will taste bitter.
