Ingredients
For the Honey Cake Layers
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup honey
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 tbsp sour cream
For the Cream
- 3 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a saucepan, combine honey, sugar, and butter. Heat until melted, then cool slightly.
- Beat eggs into the honey mixture. Add baking soda and sour cream, then gradually mix in the flour to form a dough.
- Divide the dough into 8 equal parts. Roll each part into a circle and transfer to the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake each layer for 4-5 minutes or until golden.
- For the cream, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar, honey, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- Once the cake layers are cool, spread the cream between each layer and on top of the cake.
- Refrigerate for at least 6 hours before serving.
Notes
- Chill time: The cake needs time to set, so allowing it to chill for at least 6 hours or overnight will help the flavors develop and the texture become even more luxurious.
- Storage: Store the cake in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, ensuring it’s covered tightly to maintain its freshness.
