Description
The pastry is simple and quick to prepare. The honey layers are very aromatic, crispy, and absorb the cream beautifully. This cake can be made either as a simple treat with tea or for a festive table. If you have lots of crumbs, you can use them not only to decorate the cake before serving but also to layer between the cakes. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.
