Homemade honey cake
Description
The recipe won't take much time. No family celebration is complete without this dessert. The honey cake turns out incredibly delicious, soaking up the cream quickly and thoroughly. Let your imagination run free and decorate the cake however you like or think best. Lately, I've enjoyed dividing the crumb topping into two parts, adding a teaspoon of cocoa to one part. This way, you get two colors for your "canvas," allowing you to create any patterns or even write a message. I recommend keeping this trick in mind. Serve with tea or coffee.

Step 2
Place the second part of the sugar, butter (70 g), and honey into a small container and mix. Set the mixture over a water bath and, stirring constantly, heat until it becomes liquid and smooth. Once the mixture has cooled slightly, add the beaten eggs with sugar and return to the water bath. When the batter thickens, remove it from the heat, add vanilla sugar, and let it rest for 15 minutes. Then add the flour and knead into a firm dough.
