Delicious Honey Cake Recipe for Any Occasion

Begin by gently melting the butter, honey, and granulated sugar in a double boiler or a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Stir frequently until the butter is fully melted and the sugar has dissolved.

Once melted, gradually add the lightly beaten eggs to the mixture while constantly whisking to prevent the eggs from curdling. It is important not to heat the mixture too much; just warm it enough to melt the butter.

Add the baking soda and remove the mixture from heat. Allow it to cool for approximately 5-7 minutes before gradually incorporating the flour in small portions. Monitor the temperature to keep the mixture from getting too hot.

Knead the resulting dough until smooth and place it in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to chill.

Preheat your oven to 170°C (338°F). Take the chilled dough and roll it into small balls without adding any extra flour.

Place the balls on a lined baking tray and bake for 3-4 minutes, or until they achieve a golden color. You can choose to cut the layers in advance or shortly after baking when they are still warm.

To prepare the frosting, ensure all ingredients are chilled. In a mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, cold heavy cream, and powdered sugar. Beat the mixture cold for about 50-70 seconds until it forms a thick cream.

If unsure about the whipping capacity of the sour cream, beat the heavy cream with the powdered sugar until stiff peaks form, then gently fold in the sour cream using a silicone spatula.

For decoration, combine the remaining cake crumbs with cream cheese, about 30 grams of each, to create little balls to place on the cake.

Once your layers are cooled, stack them and generously spread the frosting between layers and on the exterior of the cake. Decorate with the cream cheese balls as desired. Your delicious honey cake is now ready to be enjoyed!
