Sour Cream Cake with Honey Layers
Description
Perfect with tea and coffee. Making a sour cream cake with honey layers is simple, but like any cake it requires time. The layers bake quickly, but the baking time depends on your oven. You can decorate the cake with any cream to taste. And it can be not only egg whites with sugar, but, for example, whipped cream. You can simply sprinkle the whole cake with crumbs. In any case the cake will turn out tender, soft, moderately sweet and very tasty. The baking is ready. Serve at the table.
