Orange Cake
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Dissolve honey, stirring, in a water bath. Add sugar and heat the mixture until the sugar dissolves. Slightly cool the honey, then add eggs and flour mixed with baking soda. Quickly knead the dough. Shape the dough into a log, divide it into 9 pieces, and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Then roll each piece into a round flatbread about half a centimeter thick. Preheat the oven to 230°C (450°F) and bake the flatbreads for 10–15 minutes. Once the layers are ready, trim their edges and crush the trimmings. Now prepare the cream. Beat eggs with sugar until pale, add flour, and mix thoroughly. Bring milk to a boil and slowly pour it in a thin stream into the egg-flour mixture. Cook the cream over a water bath, stirring constantly, until thickened. Add butter and let it cool. Spread the cream between the layers, stacking them on top of each other. Sprinkle the top of the cake with the crumbs from the trimmings and grated chocolate. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.
