Ingredients
For the Dough:
80 g butter
80 g sugar
A pinch of salt
150 g honey
1 tsp baking soda
2 medium eggs
Approximately 470 g flour (adjust as needed)
For the Cream Filling:
1 kg sour cream (or whipped cream, for a lighter texture)
120 g icing sugar (adjust to taste)
1 tsp vanilla extract
Steps to Make Honey Layer Cake with Creamy Vanilla Filling
Prepare the Dough:
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter with sugar, salt, and honey, stirring until smooth. Add the baking soda and continue stirring; the mixture will become frothy and lighter in color.
Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add them gradually to the cooled honey mixture, stirring constantly to prevent the eggs from cooking.
Gradually add the flour, stirring until a soft dough forms. The dough should be firm but slightly sticky. Divide the dough into 6-8 equal portions.
Roll and Bake the Layers:
Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Roll out each portion of dough into a thin circle (approximately 21 cm in diameter).
Place each layer on the baking tray and bake for about 4 minutes or until golden brown. Repeat for each layer.
Allow the layers to cool completely.
Prepare the Cream Filling:
In a mixing bowl, combine the sour cream (or whipped cream) with icing sugar and vanilla extract.
Whisk until the cream is smooth and slightly thickened. Adjust the sweetness by adding more icing sugar if desired.
Assemble the Cake:
Place one baked layer on a serving plate and spread a generous layer of cream filling over it.
Continue layering, alternating with cake layers and cream filling, until all layers are stacked.
Spread the remaining cream filling over the top and sides of the cake.
Chill and Serve:
Refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the layers to soften.
Garnish with a dusting of icing sugar or honey drizzle if desired.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy the delicate flavors of honey and cream!
