Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Honey Mixture

Pour honey into a saucepan, then add a pinch of salt and baking soda. Heat the mixture until it forms a foam, stirring continuously.

Next, add butter to the mixture and stir vigorously until well combined.

Step 2

Make the Dough

Gradually add flour to the honey mixture, mixing well after each addition until a smooth and soft dough forms. It’s crucial not to add all the flour at once; adjust based on its moisture content.

Once combined, wrap the dough in a plastic bag or cover with cling film and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours.

Step 3

Roll and Cut the Dough

After chilling, divide the dough into approximately three pieces. Roll each piece out thinly, dusting with a little flour if necessary.

Cut out circles from the rolled dough as shown in the video. Use the scraps from the first three layers to create a fourth layer. The remaining dough can be shaped into small cookies for decoration.

Step 4

Bake the Cake Layers

Preheat your oven to 175 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit). Bake the cake layers for about 6-8 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

Once baked, remove from the oven and allow them to cool completely.

Step 5

Make the Frosting

For the frosting, whip the sour cream with powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.

Transfer the frosting into a piping bag fitted with a round tip. Pipe the frosting between the layers of cake to assemble.

Finally, place the assembled cake in the refrigerator to allow it to soak and set properly.

Servings

Once your honey cake is ready, it pairs beautifully with a variety of sides! 🍯✨ Consider serving it alongside a dollop of whipped coconut cream for a tropical twist. For a fruity flair, fresh berries on the side will brighten up each serving. You can even drizzle a bit more honey on top for that extra sweetness! 😋

If you want to get fancy, why not layer it with some fresh fruits or nuts? How about some almond slivers for crunch, or a slice of ripe banana for that sweet extra flavor? Your taste buds will thank you! 🥳

For an added touch, dust a bit of powdered sugar for a delicate finish and serve it on a vibrant plate for aesthetic appeal. You’ve made a delightful masterpiece that’s ready to impress your guests. Serve up happiness one slice at a time! 🥂

Variations

If you're looking to switch things up, there are some fantastic gluten-free options! 🌟 Simply replace the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend. Make sure it’s one designed for baking to achieve the right texture. You can also enhance the flavor by adding a teaspoon of cinnamon to the dough!

Vegan bakers, rejoice! ✨ Substitute the butter with coconut oil or any plant-based margarine, and use a non-dairy yogurt in the cream mix. You'll still get a delightful creamy texture without compromising taste. Plus, using maple syrup instead of honey will keep your recipe entirely vegan!

Whatever variation you choose, your cake will still steal the show at any gathering. Happy baking, everyone! 🎉

Faq

  • What if my dough is too sticky?

    If you find your dough is sticky, gradually add a bit more flour, a tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a soft but manageable consistency.

  • Can I make this cake ahead of time?

    Absolutely! In fact, this cake tastes even better the next day after it has rested in the fridge, allowing all the flavors to meld together perfectly.

  • How can I know when my cake is fully baked?

    Check if the edges are golden brown and if a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. That’s how you know it’s just right!

  • What’s the best way to store leftovers?

    Store any leftover cake in an airtight container in the fridge. It will stay fresh and tasty for up to 5 days!

  • I’m experienced, but how can I achieve an extra light texture?

    For a lighter texture, consider whipping the mixture until it becomes fluffy and aerated right before adding the flour.

  • Can I use other sweeteners besides honey?

    Yes! Maple syrup or agave nectar are great substitutes if you prefer a different sweetness while keeping it healthy.
