Instructions
Step 1
In a bowl, combine the *sour cream* with *baking soda* and mix well. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine *sugar*, *honey*, and *butter*. Heat until the mixture is completely dissolved.
Once the mixture is smooth, add the sour cream and baking soda mixture, stirring continuously until the foam subsides. Next, add the *egg* and mix thoroughly. Gradually incorporate the *flour* until the batter is uniform.
Spread the batter evenly on a Teflon mat or parchment paper in a very thin layer. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) for about 5 minutes or until golden brown. Use an 8 cm (3.1 inch) round cutter to cut out the cake layers.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, whip the *sour cream* with *sugar* until it becomes light and fluffy. In a separate bowl, whip the *heavy cream* until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the sour cream mixture using a spatula. Make sure to use a folding motion from the bottom up to maintain the airy texture of the cream.
Step 3
To make the ganache, melt the *white chocolate* in a bowl, ensuring it stays below 40°C (104°F). Once melted, stir in the *glucose syrup* using a whisk until well combined.
Gradually add the hot *heavy cream* in two stages, mixing until the mixture is smooth and glossy. Finally, add the *butter* at room temperature and mix until fully incorporated.
Note that the ganache will be quite liquid when warm but it will thicken as it cools.
Step 4
Begin by placing the first *cake layer* on a serving platter. Spread a layer of the prepared *cream* over it. Repeat the process, adding more layers and cream until all components are used.
Once assembled, cover the cake with a thin layer of the warm ganache. This will create a smooth finish. Place the cake in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to set the ganache.
After chilling, you can create drips by pouring a bit of ganache over the edges for a beautiful presentation.
Servings
- Pair this delightful cake with a cup of **fragrant herbal tea** or a bold coffee for a perfect afternoon break.
- For a fun twist, serve each slice with **fresh berries** or a dollop of whipped cream on top!
- Consider adding a few edible flowers on the plate to elevate the presentation—your guests will be wowed! 🌸
- Lastly, don’t forget to drizzle some honey over the top just before serving for that extra sweetness. 🍯
Equipment
A non-stick baking sheet or parchment paper ensures that your cake layers don't stick and can be easily removed.

Variations
If you’re looking to cater to different dietary preferences, here are some **exciting variations**! 🌱🍰
- Gluten-Free:
Substitute regular flour with a **gluten-free flour blend** to make this cake suitable for those with gluten sensitivities. It will still be deliciously light!
- Vegan:
For a plant-based version, replace the eggs with **flaxseed meal** (1 tbsp of flaxseed meal mixed with 2.5 tbsp of water). Use **coconut cream** instead of sour cream and vegan margarine instead of butter in the ganache.
Faq
- What should I do if my cake layers are sticking to the baking sheet?
Make sure to use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Greasing your pans will also help prevent sticking.
- How can I tell when my cake layers are done baking?
When the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, your cakes are ready!
- Can I prepare the cream ahead of time?
Yes! You can whip the cream a few hours in advance, but keep it refrigerated until you’re ready to assemble your cake.
- How do I prevent my ganache from seizing?
Always melt the chocolate gently and ensure not to exceed 40°C (104°F) when heating the cream. Gradually mixing is key!
- What storage conditions are best for the cake?
Keep the cake in an airtight container in the fridge, where it can last up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature before serving.
- Can I freeze this cake?
Absolutely! Freeze the layers without the icing and ganache, and then assemble them when you’re ready to enjoy it. It can last for up to 3 months in the freezer.
