Classic cake recipe
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Here is the classic "Ryzhik" cake. Whip the eggs with sugar into a foam, then add oil and honey, mix well, and place the mixture over low heat. Cook until the sugar is completely dissolved, adding the egg foam to the mixture. Combine the cooled mixture with flour and knead the dough. Shape the dough into 10–12 layers and bake them in the oven. Spread the cooled layers with sour cream frosting and sprinkle with crumbs mixed with sour cream. Place the cake in the refrigerator to chill, preferably overnight. Good luck!
