Honey Cake

120 min4 serv.21 февр. 2026 г.

Description

Perfectly pairs with tea and coffee. Let the finished cake soak in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours, or preferably overnight, so the layers become tender and soft. If desired, you can add nuts, dried apricots, raisins, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, or chocolate to the cake. When assembling the cake, sprinkle your favorite filling over the cream. Don't worry about whether your cake will soak properly—the recipe is designed with that in mind: the layers are super thin, and the cream is incredibly delicious and thick. Decorate the top with a chocolate drizzle. Serve cooled or slightly warm.
