Cake
Description
Delicious baked treat for the whole family. This cake is based on honey with a sour cream frosting. Many call this cake "Medovik." The frosting can be any kind, but the main condition is that it should not be too thick and must soak the layers well. The honey-based batter is prepared in the traditional way. Be sure to read the recipe and watch carefully. Can be served with tea or coffee.
