Medovik is a classic Russian honey cake, known for its multiple layers and rich, honey-flavored taste.
Ingredients
- 100 grams honey preferably clover or wildflower
- 150 grams sugar white granulated
- 100 grams butter unsalted
- 2 large eggs let them come to room temperature
- 1 teaspoon teaspoon baking soda
- 400 grams flour all-purpose
- 700 grams sour cream for the filling
- 250 grams powdered sugar sifted, for the filling
Instructions
- In a saucepan, combine the honey, sugar, and butter. Melt over low heat while stirring occasionally until everything is combined.
- Once melted, take the saucepan off the heat and let it cool slightly. Add in the eggs one at a time, whisking quickly to prevent them from cooking.
- Add the baking soda to the mixture and stir until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
- Gradually add flour to the mixture until you form a smooth dough. Wrap the dough in cling film and let it rest for about 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Divide the dough into 6 parts. Roll each part into a thin circle to fit your cake pan and bake each layer for about 5 minutes or until golden.
- Prepare the cream filling by whisking sour cream with powdered sugar until smooth.
- Assembly: Place a cake layer on a plate and cover with a generous amount of the cream filling. Repeat with remaining layers, spreading the rest of the cream filling on the top and sides of the cake.
- Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours or overnight to let the flavors meld together.
