Delicious Russian Honey Cake Recipe for Everyone

Start by preheating your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit). Grease a baking dish with a little butter, and set it aside. In a large mixing bowl, combine unsalted butter and granulated sugar. Mix until the mixture is light and fluffy.

Next, add the honey, followed by the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in baking powder, baking soda, and vanilla extract to enhance flavor.

Gradually sift in the flour and mix until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep the cake tender.

Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Once done, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.

After that, transfer the cake to a wire rack and let it cool completely before frosting.

While the cake is cooling, prepare the frosting. In a separate bowl, mix the sour cream with powdered sugar and lemon juice. Beat until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This will add a delightful tang to your cake.

Once the cake has completely cooled, spread the frosting generously on top and around the sides. For a decorative touch, you may wish to sprinkle some crushed nuts or chocolate shavings on top of the frosting.

Slice the cake into portions and serve with a cup of tea or coffee. This cake gets even better after resting, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.

Enjoy your delicious Russian Honey Cake, perfect for any celebration!
