55 grams (1.9 ounces) unsalted butter
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 large eggs
35 grams (1.2 ounces) granulated sugar
120 grams (4.2 ounces) all-purpose flour
1 gram (0.04 ounces) salt

Cream Ingredients

250 grams (8.8 ounces) sour cream
100 grams (3.5 ounces) heavy cream
50 grams (1.8 ounces) cream cheese
50 grams (1.8 ounces) powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Additional Ingredients

150 grams (5.3 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
100 grams (3.5 ounces) walnuts

Covering Cream Ingredients

120 grams (4.2 ounces) heavy cream
20 grams (0.7 ounces) powdered sugar

Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Cake Batter

Start by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F). In a mixing bowl, combine honey and unsalted butter, mixing until well incorporated. Add baking soda and mix well before adding the eggs and granulated sugar.

Continue to mix until the mixture is smooth. Gradually sift in the all-purpose flour and salt, folding gently until fully combined without any lumps.

Step 2

Bake the Cake

Pour the batter into a lined baking tray measuring approximately 30x40 cm (12x16 inches). Spread the batter evenly using a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Once baked, allow the cake to cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 3

Make the Cream Filling

In a separate bowl, whisk together the sour cream, heavy cream, cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy. Ensure there are no lumps left in the cream mixture.

Add the sweetened condensed milk and chopped walnuts to the cream and gently fold them in until everything is well combined.

Step 4

Assemble the Honey Roll

Once the cake has cooled, carefully remove it from the tray and roll it into a tight cylinder. Unroll the cake gently, spread a generous layer of the cream filling over the entire surface, and then re-roll the cake tightly.

Wrap the rolled cake in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set properly.

Step 5

Prepare the Covering Cream

In a clean bowl, whip together the heavy cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form. This will be used to cover the roll, providing a nice smooth finish.

Step 6

Decorate the Cake

Once chilled, remove the roll from the refrigerator and gently unwrap it. Use a spatula to cover the entire roll with the whipped cream. You can add additional decorations as desired, such as nuts or chocolate shavings.

Faq

  • Beginner: Can I use regular honey instead of flavored honey?

    Absolutely! Regular honey will work just fine and still impart a sweet, natural flavor to your roll.

  • Beginner: What can I do if my roll cracks while rolling?

    This can happen if the sponge isn't baked enough or if it's too cold. Make sure to bake your sponge until lightly golden and roll it while still warm for best results!

  • Intermediate: Can I make this ahead of time?

    Yes! You can make the roll a day in advance. Store it covered in the refrigerator to keep it fresh. Just let it come to room temperature before serving.

  • Intermediate: How can I make my cream filling fluffier?

    Ensure your heavy cream is well chilled before whipping. Also, start whipping at low speed to create initial aeration, then increase to high speed.

  • Experienced: What can I do if the roll is too sweet?

    If you prefer less sweetness, reduce the amount of sugar in the cream filling or use a tangy yogurt as a substitute for a portion of the cream cheese.

  • Experienced: How do I prevent the roll from becoming soggy?

    Be sure not to overfill your roll with cream or syrup. Additionally, chill it well after assembling to set firmly before slicing.
