Instructions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine butter and sugar, mixing until light and fluffy. Add in the honey, eggs, and vanilla extract, and continue mixing.
In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this flour mixture to the wet ingredients until you have a smooth dough.
Divide the dough into 6 equal parts and roll each part into a thin circle. Bake each layer in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit) for about 5-7 minutes or until golden.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine sour cream and mascarpone cheese. Beat them together until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating continuously until the cream is well combined and fluffy.
Step 3
Take one honey cake layer and spread a generous amount of cream filling on top. Place another layer of honey cake on top, and repeat until all layers are stacked.
Cover the entire cake with any remaining cream filling to create a smooth and even surface.
Step 4
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the granulated sugar until it turns amber in color. Be careful not to burn it.
Once melted, stir in the butter until fully incorporated. Slowly add the heavy cream and mix until the caramel is smooth.
Step 5
Drizzle the warm caramel topping over the assembled cake, allowing it to flow down the sides.
Let the cake set for several hours in the refrigerator before serving. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
Enjoy your delicious honey cake with caramel topping for any occasion!
Servings
**Serve it with fresh fruits like berries or sliced apples** to add a touch of tartness that complements the sweetness beautifully. 🍓🍏
For a special twist, consider **drizzling caramel sauce** on top to create an irresistible glossy finish that’s sure to impress! 🥃✨
Pair it with a **scoop of vanilla ice cream** on the side for a rich and creamy contrast that will leave everyone asking for seconds. 🍦
Feel free to get creative! This cake is perfect for celebrations, from birthdays to weddings. Showcase it as the centerpiece and watch as everyone’s eyes light up with delight! ❤️
Equipment
Choose a variety of sizes to help with mixing components and blending flavors effectively.
A must for achieving that fluffy texture in your cream! If you don’t have one, a whisk works too, but it’ll take more effort.

Variations
**Gluten-Free Option:** Simply swap the all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend. This will keep your cake deliciously moist without compromising on flavor! 🍰
**Vegan Alternative:** Use plant-based substitutes; replace eggs with flaxseed eggs (1 tbsp flaxseed meal mixed with 2.5 tbsp water = 1 egg) and opt for almond or soy milk instead of regular milk. Your friends will be amazed at how wonderfully this cake turns out, while being suitable for a vegan diet! 🌿
Enjoy this delightful treat without worry and wow your guests with these adaptations!
Faq
- What if my cake layers are uneven or domed?
No worries! Just use a serrated knife to level them off before stacking. This will help your layers sit perfectly on top of each other.
- How long can I store this cake?
Keep your Honey Cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for about a week!
- How can I enhance the flavor of my cake?
Consider adding a tablespoon of vanilla extract or even a splash of bourbon to the cream for a deeper flavor profile!
- Can I make this cake in advance for an event?
Absolutely! You can bake the layers a couple of days ahead and assemble them just before serving to ensure freshness.
- What’s the best way to decorate my Honey Cake?
Cream frosting with a sprinkle of crushed nuts or caramel drizzle will elevate its appearance, making it truly stand out!
- How do I know when the cake is done baking?
Insert a toothpick into the center of the cake; if it comes out clean, you’re good to go! Timing may vary based on your oven, so keep an eye on it.
