Cream Ingredients






Instructions
Step 1
In a saucepan, combine unsalted butter, sugar, and honey. Stir the mixture continuously over medium heat until it reaches a boil.
Once boiling, add baking soda and keep stirring. The mixture will begin to foam, which is normal. Cook until it turns a caramel color, then remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
Step 2
After the honey mixture has cooled, add the eggs and whisk until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the flour and mix until you have a smooth batter.
Step 3
Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy removal. Pour the batter onto the prepared sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Step 4
While the cake is baking, prepare the cream by whisking together cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
Gradually add heavy cream and continue to beat until the mixture is thick and fluffy.
Step 5
Once the cake has cooled, trim the edges and cut it into cubes.
Layer the cake pieces and cream in your desired shape, using plastic wrap lining the sides of the mold for easy removal.
After assembling, allow the cake to rest for at least 2 hours before serving so the flavors meld together.
Servings
When it comes to serving your no-roll honey cake, the possibilities are endless! Try layering it with fresh fruits like strawberries or blueberries for a burst of flavor and color. You can even drizzle a bit of honey or chocolate sauce over the top for that added sweetness! 🍯🍫
For themed parties or holiday celebrations, consider decorating your cake with edible flowers or a sprinkle of nuts for a classy touch. 🌸🌰 Serve each piece with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream on the side for a dessert that’s truly irresistible. 🎉🍦
Equipment
Use a sturdy baking tray lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
A large mixing bowl will work best for combining your cake ingredients smoothly.



A whisk helps achieve a light and fluffy texture for your eggs and cream. An electric mixer can make this even easier!



Use a silicone spatula to gently fold in your flour and cream without losing volume.



Variations
If you're looking for a gluten-free option, simply swap out the regular flour for a gluten-free blend. It’s an easy way to accommodate dietary needs without sacrificing taste! 🌾❌
For a vegan twist on this recipe, substitute eggs with flaxseed meal (1 tablespoon of flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons of water per egg) and use coconut cream instead of dairy cream. You’ll still achieve a delightful texture and flavor that's sure to please everyone! 🌱💚
Faq
- What if my batter is too thick?
If your batter seems too thick, try adding a tablespoon of warm water or milk to loosen it up. It should be pourable but not runny!
- Can I make this ahead of time?
Absolutely! This cake can be made a day in advance. Just keep it stored in an airtight container in the fridge.
- How can I tell when the cake is done baking?
The cake is ready when it’s golden brown and springs back lightly when touched in the center. A toothpick inserted should come out clean.
- Can I use other types of sweeteners?
Yes! You can substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar for a different flavor profile.
- What’s the best way to store leftovers?
Store any leftover cake in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days to keep it fresh.
- Can I freeze the cake for later?
Yes! Wrap individual slices tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer bag for up to 3 months. Just let them thaw before serving.
