Delicious Honey Red Velvet Cake Recipe

In a thick-bottomed saucepan, heat the honey over medium-high heat until it begins to gently foam.

Add the baking soda and a pinch of salt; the mixture will foam up and lighten in color.

Reduce the heat to low, add the unsalted butter, and stir until well combined.

Remove the mixture from the heat and allow it to cool slightly to prevent the eggs from curdling when added.

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with the granulated sugar until the mixture lightens in color.

Slowly pour in the honey mixture while whisking continuously.

Then, add the flour and red food coloring, mixing thoroughly to form a soft and slightly sticky dough.

Let the dough cool slightly, then divide it into 8-9 equal parts and roll them into balls.

Cover the dough balls with plastic wrap to prevent them from drying out.

Preheat your oven to 175 degrees Celsius (about 350 degrees Fahrenheit).

Roll out each piece of dough thinly, about 2-3 mm thick.

Transfer the rolled dough onto parchment paper and bake for 4-6 minutes until the edges start to slightly brown.

Cut the dough into circles with a diameter of 20-22 cm (about 8-9 inches).

Save the dough scraps for decoration later.

In a bowl, whisk the mascarpone cheese with the powdered sugar and vanillin until the mixture is smooth and well blended.

Add the sour cream and whisk again until combined.

If you want a lighter and fluffier cream, gradually add the chilled heavy cream while whisking until soft peaks form.

The cream should be thick but still spreadable.

Place the first cake layer on a serving plate and spread a layer of cream on top.

Layer the next cake layer on top and repeat the process until all layers are stacked.

Cover the top and sides of the cake with the remaining cream.

Wrap the cake in acetate film and refrigerate for 3-4 hours.

If you prefer a very soft cake, refrigerate it for at least 6-8 hours or overnight so the layers soak up the cream and soften.

Decorate the cake with crumbs from the dough scraps.

Enjoy your delicious, tender, and beautifully presented Honey Red Velvet Cake!
