Honey Cake

Description

Be sure to use high-fat cream and sour cream, otherwise the frosting won't be thick enough and may spread. Depending on the flour quality, you might need slightly more than stated in the recipe. The main thing is to achieve an elastic, thick, and pliable dough. Decorate the cake with fresh berries, and it will be not only delicious but also beautiful.

   Divide the dough into 8 equal parts and roll each part into a circle about 23 cm in diameter. Remember to dust the work surface with flour to prevent the dough from sticking. It's best to roll the dough while it's still warm.

   Using a plate, cut even circles from the rolled dough. Transfer to parchment paper and bake at 180 degrees for 4-5 minutes until golden. Bake the dough scraps as well, then crush them into crumbs using a rolling pin or blender.
