Video Perfect Orange Honey Cake: Easy Steps for a Fluffy Delight

Whip up this fantastic recipe for an Orange Honey Cake. Start with the dough: combine sugar, honey, eggs, butter, and the zest of one orange. Gently heat until the sugar dissolves, then add baking soda. Let the mixture darken slightly, then cool. Add flour and knead into a soft dough. Divide into seven parts, cover, and cool completely. Bake the layers until golden. For the orange jam, cook a juicy orange, sugar, water, and cornstarch until thickened. Next, make the custard by combining sugar, milk, and flour over low heat until thick. Cool completely, then beat in butter and sweetened condensed milk, adding the orange jam last. Assemble and chill overnight.
