Video Homemade 'Mary' Cake: A Recipe from Mom's Cookbook

Try this delightful "Mary" cake, a precious recipe straight out of a family cookbook. Begin by blending eggs with sugar, then mix in vegetable oil, honey, cocoa powder, and finally baking soda, heating it over a water bath. Gradually incorporate flour into this heated mixture until you have a slightly sticky dough that becomes easier to handle once chilled. Roll out the dough into three even layers and bake each one until golden. For the creamy filling, whip room temperature butter with sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and cocoa powder mixed with a little more oil for the perfect consistency. The unique part comes from creating a moist filling with cake trimmings, a splash of coffee (a great alternative to cognac), and your favorite jam or extra sweetened condensed milk for added sweetness. Cover your cake layer by layer with cream and filling, topping it off with a simple yet irresistible cocoa glaze. This cake promises a rich, moist bite every time, perfect for any chocolate lover's dream celebration.
