Description
The recipe won't take much time. This cake is a combination of honey cake and dark cake layers. The frosting is a custard-based cream with added butter. Preparation time for this cake is about 3 hours (not counting the soaking time). As a result, the classic cake turns out soft and incredibly tender. The baking is ready. Serve at the table.

1. Prepare the dough. Mix the main ingredients: butter, sugar, honey, and eggs. In a separate container, mix baking soda or baking powder with cocoa. Place everything in a double boiler and cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Then add the baking soda and cocoa mixture and stir vigorously; the mixture should increase in volume and lighten in color. Remove from heat.

4. Rub the eggs with flour, gradually add milk and condensed milk. Cook over a steam bath, stirring constantly. When the cream thickens, remove from heat. Cool the cream and beat it, adding butter in portions. Once the cream becomes light and fluffy, it is ready. Place it in the refrigerator until set. Then fold in whipped cream. The cream is now ready for assembling the cake.
