Instructions
Step 1
Start by beating the eggs in a bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually add in 1/2 cup of sugar while continuing to beat for about 5 to 7 minutes.
Step 2
In a separate saucepan, combine the unsalted butter with 1/2 cup of sugar. Heat over low heat until the sugar dissolves. Then, add in honey and bring it to a boil. Carefully add the baking soda, stirring well, and remove from heat. Allow the mixture to cool for 10 minutes.
Step 3
Once cooled, slowly pour the honey-butter mixture into the beaten egg mixture in a thin stream. Use a spatula to gently fold them together using an upward motion.
Step 4
Return the mixture to low heat and add 1 cup of sifted flour, stirring continuously. Gradually mix in an additional 2 cups of flour until the dough begins to brown on the bottom. Remove from heat and let cool for another 10 minutes.
Step 5
Add the remaining 1 cup of flour to form a soft and smooth dough. Roll into a log and cut it into 12 equal pieces.
Step 6
On a floured parchment paper, roll each piece into thin circles and bake each layer at 340°F (170°C) for about 5 to 7 minutes, or at 356°F (180°C) for about 3 to 4 minutes. After baking, let them cool, trimming the edges and saving the crumbs for decoration.
Step 7
In a mixing bowl, beat the sour cream with 1 cup of sugar. Keep it in the refrigerator until the sugar dissolves completely.
Step 8
In a cake ring, layer the cake by spreading the cream between each layer. Once assembled, place the cake in the refrigerator for 12 hours to set.
Step 9
Finally, crush the remaining cake scraps to sprinkle on top of the assembled cake. Slice and enjoy this delicious Honey Cake while reflecting on the sweetness of life!
Servings
- Garnish with Fresh Fruits 🍓 - Slices of fresh berries or citrus can brighten up your cake and add a refreshing taste.
- Pair with a Hot Beverage ☕️ - Serve it alongside a steaming cup of tea or coffee, creating a delightful afternoon treat.
- Add a Drizzle of Honey 🍯 - For a touch of elegance, drizzle some honey on top before serving - it heightens the flavor and makes it extra sweet!
- Fancy Presentation 🍽️ - Layer each slice with whipped cream or sprinkle crushed nuts for that professional bakery look!
Equipment
A sturdy baking sheet is essential for evenly baking the cake layers. Make sure it is lined with parchment paper for easy removal.

Faq
- What type of flour is best for this Honey Cake?
All-purpose flour is perfect for this recipe, but you can also use gluten-free flour if you prefer a gluten-free cake!
- How can I tell when the cake layers are done?
Check for a golden-brown color; they should be firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
- Can I freeze the Honey Cake?
Absolutely! You can freeze the cake layers individually and assemble them later. Just make sure to wrap them well.
- What can I use instead of sour cream for the frosting?
You can substitute Greek yogurt or use a vegan cream cheese for a great alternative!
- What if my cake breaks while assembling?
No worries! You can use the broken pieces as a crumb topping to decorate the cake; it will still look beautiful!
- How do I store leftover cake?
Keep it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. It can also be served cold for a refreshing treat!
