Honey cakes with condensed milk cream and butter

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   Ingredients.

2. STEP 2

   

   Cut the butter into any shape into a large bowl.

3. STEP 3

   

   Add sugar, eggs, honey. Just mix everything with a spoon.

4. STEP 4

   

   We build a water bath. Take a saucepan or large cup, pour water, put it on the stove and heat it up. Place a cup with ingredients on top (Pour enough water into the bottom cup so that it approximately reaches the bottom of the top cup).

5. STEP 5

   

   Heat and stir to melt the butter and honey.

6. STEP 6

   

   The mass has become monotonous, add a teaspoon of soda (no need to extinguish). Mix well. Remove from heat, the bottom cup can be removed - it is no longer needed.

7. STEP 7

   

   Pour 2 cups of flour into the butter-honey mass and stir with a spoon, since the mass is still hot. While you stir, it will cool slightly.

8. STEP 8

   

   Then add another 2 cups of flour and knead the dough with your hands. I always use exactly 4 cups in the dough - a cut glass. In grams this is 4 cups x 160 grams = 640 grams.

9. STEP 9

   

   The dough will be smooth, stick to your hands and mold easily, reminiscent of plasticine. Roll the finished dough into a sausage and cut into 6 pieces for six cakes.

10. STEP 10

    

    Grease parchment paper with oil. Take 1 piece of dough, knead it into a flat cake with your hands and roll it out on paper with a rolling pin. See the size yourself, based on the width of the baking sheet or mold. Mine is designed for a diameter of 24 cm.

11. STEP 11

    

    Place the parchment sheet with the dough onto a baking sheet. Bake in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 10-15 minutes, be guided by the golden brown crust. So we bake the rest of the cakes. If the oven allows, you can bake 2 cakes at a time.

12. STEP 12

    

    Immediately remove the finished cake from the sheet and leave to cool.

13. STEP 13

    

    We stack the finished cooled cakes on top of each other. Align with your hands.

14. STEP 14

    

    Holding it on top with your hand, use a knife to level the edges of the cake, cutting off the protruding parts.

15. STEP 15

    

    Using a knife, chop the cut parts into crumbs for sprinkling the cake. You don’t have to cut off the edges, but use crushed cookies for sprinkling.

16. STEP 16

    

    Preparing the cream. Beat the softened butter with a mixer into a uniform mass, adding condensed milk.

17. STEP 17

    

    Coat the cakes with cream. Approximately 2 - 2.5 tablespoons of cream for each cake.

18. STEP 18

    

    You can also spread cream on the sides of the cake. But when I usually coat the top of the cake, I leave drippings around the edges. Sprinkle the top with crumbs.

19. STEP 19

    

    The cake is ready! Leave it to soak overnight. Making honey cakes is easy! Bon appetit!
