Lazy honey cake with cottage cheese and sour cream filling
Description
The secret of a lazy honey cake is that you don't need to roll out thin layers. You just need to bake two thick sponge cakes and carefully slice them into thinner layers. This is a very quick recipe, because while the layers are baking, you can prepare the frosting (simply mix sugar, cottage cheese, and sour cream with a mixer). For decorating the cake, I recommend using chocolate, honey, and cookie or cake crumbs. It will look beautiful and taste delicious. Serve with tea or coffee.
