Those who have never tried to bake this cake are sure that it is very difficult. In fact, cook Honey cake easy! In this article, we will introduce you to different recipes and share options for creams.

Treats for the Empress

Did you know that a seemingly simple Honey cake is a whole story that began about two hundred years ago? It is said that a certain mysterious culinary specialist prepared this sweet temptation for the first time for the beautiful Elizabeth Alekseevna, who was the spouse of the Emperor and the Autocrat of the All-Russian Alexander the First.

Many years have passed, time has changed, and with it the recipe. Honey cake is a simple, made from honey cakes and cream based on sour cream, still remains the most favorite dessert.

Classics of the genre

So, if you decide to bake Honey Cake, it’s easy to start with a basic, classic recipe.

To prepare the dough, prepare:

  • Eggs 3 pieces.
  • Wheat flour top grade 3 cups.
  • Honey 3 tablespoons with a slide.
  • Soda 1 tablespoon.
  • Sugar - 1 cup.

For cream need:

  • Sour cream fat content of at least 20% - 800 grams.
  • Sugar 1 glass.

Magic dough

First of all, proceed to kneading the dough. We take a stainless steel pot and drive eggs there. Add honey, soda, sugar and mix thoroughly. We put on a strong fire and, without stopping to mix, wait until the mass increases in volume three times and becomes golden. The consistency of the mixture should be foamy.

Remove the pan from the heat and slowly, in small portions, add the sifted flour, without ceasing to interfere. When the dough becomes homogeneous, we divide it into eight equal parts.

Baking secrets

We take a detachable form of the desired size, lubricate the bottom and sides with vegetable oil and spread the bottom with parchment. We spread the dough and gently, without using a rolling pin, level the bottom with your hands or a spoon.

We put in a preheated oven and bake each cake for 7-12 minutes at a temperature of 180 degrees. In order to pull out the cakes and at the same time not to damage them, we take the bottom out of the mold, turn the parchment up to the surface and carefully remove it.

Cream magic

While our cakes get a golden blush, let's do the cream. To do this, take sour cream, combine it with sugar and beat well with a mixer or immersion blender. When the cakes cool and harden, our cream should be carefully distributed between the cakes, spread the last cake on top and put the cake in the fridge for full impregnation. It usually takes 12 hours. The top of the finished delicacy can be sprinkled with chopped walnuts or confectionery dressing. As you can see, cooking classic Honey cake is easy!

Condensed rivers, honey shores

If you are familiar with the basic recipe for honey cake, you can try your hand at a more complex version. We offer to cook a gentle, tasty, fragrant, but more complex Honey cake. The recipe is simple, but it is only at first glance. In fact, you have to tinker with it. But as a result, you will get an airy, sweet, and at the same time not at all cloying delicacy.

For the test, we need the following ingredients:

  • Wheat flour top grade 500 grams.
  • Margarine 100 grams.
  • Eggs 2 pieces.
  • Honey 2 full tablespoons.
  • Soda 1 tsp.
  • Sugar 150 grams.
  • Salt on the tip of a knife.

For cream, prepare:

  • Butter with a fat content of at least 72% - 250 grams.
  • Boiled condensed milk 1 can.

As can be seen from the list of products, this is not the easiest Honey Cake. But the effort is worth it!

Water bath to help

We begin to cook, as always, with the dough, which is kneaded in a water bath. To build it, you need to choose two pots. One should be big and the other a little smaller. The first is placed in the second.


Pour into a large pot of water up to half and set on fire. When the water boils, we cut margarine into large cubes, put it into a smaller saucepan and put it into a large saucepan. Thanks to such an improvised water bath, margarine will quickly melt.

When this happens, add sugar, honey and salt to it. Do not stop stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved.

In a separate container break the eggs and lightly beat them with a fork. Then a thin stream pour them into the total mass and mix. Thanks to the water bath, the eggs will not coagulate.

After a minute, add soda and mix thoroughly again. The mixture magically begins to turn into a foamy mass and increase in volume. As soon as this happens, turn off the heat and start adding flour to our mixture. In order to avoid the formation of lumps, the dough should be constantly kneaded until smooth, until it is soft and pliable.

Divide the dough into 8 identical koloboks and roll out each with a rolling pin. If the dough cools down and loses its elasticity, it can be put back into the water bath, where it will heat up and be supple again.

We bake cakes on a baking sheet using parchment at a temperature of 180 degrees for 10-15 minutes.

Sweet moments

When the cakes are baked and cool, proceed to the preparation of the cream. Cut the butter into cubes and soften it. Then open a jar of condensed milk and add to the butter. Stir well. Then turn on the mixer and whip the cream.

Cooled cakes richly we coat with cream, the ugliest cake can be put on crumb and decorate the cake on the sides and on top. We remove the resulting culinary product for the night in the refrigerator, where it is soaked and reaches the desired state.

Of course, one can’t say that cooking this Honey cake is as simple as having a single water bath! And, nevertheless, the efforts will not be in vain, because absolutely everything will fall in love with this cake!

Hastily

If there is not much time, and there is no particular desire to mess around with the cake, you can make a quick Honey cake, a simple recipe from the photo of which we offer to learn (what if it comes in handy?).

  • Eggs 4 pieces.
  • Wheat flour 3 cups.
  • Sugar 1 glass.
  • Honey 1 cup.
  • Walnuts 50 pieces.
  • Baking powder 2 teaspoons with a slide.

For the cream will use:

  • Sour cream with fat content of 35% - 400 grams.
  • Half a cup of icing sugar.
  • Vanilla 1 pinch.

Handwork

First of all, we clean the nuts from the shell and chop them with a knife or blender. In a separate container, beat with a mixer an egg with the addition of sugar and honey. Then add flour, nuts, soda, and mix everything well. We form a large bun, put it in a bowl and cover it with a clean towel or cling film. We leave to rise in a warm place for 3-4 hours.

After this time, preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Take a baking sheet and cover it with oiled parchment. Then divide our dough into 6-8 equal parts, roll out each thin layer and bake for 6-8 minutes.

Under powdered sugar

When the skin is cool and ready to smear, begin to prepare the cream. To do this, whip the sour cream with powdered sugar and vanilla. Then we coat each cake with cream and put our cake in the fridge. When served, it can be decorated with walnuts, crushed almonds or grated chocolate.

Preparatory stages for cooking

Classic Honey Cake is prepared in a water bath.

Therefore, you will need:

  • two pans (medium and large);
  • spatula or spoon for mixing the dough;
  • mixer for beating eggs;
  • beaker;
  • sieve for sifting flour;
  • form for cutting cakes (it is convenient to make a sieve or lid from the pan).

Products for the test:


  1. Eggs -2 (if category C1) or 3 (if C2), an average of about 100 grams.
  2. Sugar - 1 cup (300 grams).
  3. Butter (can be replaced with margarine for baking) - 50 grams.
  4. Flour - 2 cups (550/600 grams).

  6. Soda - a teaspoon.

Products for cream sour cream:

  1. Sour cream (preferably with a fat content of 20%) - 500 grams.
  2. Sugar - about 1 cup (300 grams).

Cooking: make the dough

Let's start cooking the classic recipe for honey cake with step-by-step explanations and photos.

Start making the dough in the pan, which you then put in a water bath.

First, beat all eggs with sugar until white.

Then add butter to the pan.

In order for the butter to be well whipped, it must be soft, so it is best to prepare it in advance: either let it soak at room temperature, or cut into pieces and hold it in the microwave for a bit.

Beat the mixture with butter.

Add honey and soda to the saucepan and once again knead well with a mixer.

Now we need to put our dough in a water bath.

How to do it: pour hot water into a large saucepan, put a container of dough into it and place the whole structure on a low heat.

Water should not spill out or fall into the pan with the dough.

5-7 minutes later, it will become golden, thickened and start to smell delicious honey.

Add to the pan about a third of the flour (half-glass), be sure to sift it before that.

Hold the dough in a pan of hot water for about a minute.

Remove the pan from the heat and mix thoroughly with a spatula.

Add the rest of the flour and knead the plastic (not too steep) dough.

Handle the mass carefully: it may still be hot.

Divide the finished honey product into small balls (8-10 pieces) and leave for 15-30 minutes in the cold.

Preparation: bake and collect

"Ripe" buns roll into layers of equal thickness.

Each of them check the form, which will cut: the cake should be no less than its diameter.

Cakes are baked on a baking sheet covered with parchment.

The time is about 3-5 minutes.

The oven temperature is best set at 180 degrees.

Cakes should become golden brown.

Each of them immediately cut off your form, while it is still hot: cooling down, they become hard and crispy.

Now cook the cream: whip the sour cream with sugar until thick mass.

The resulting cream promagte cakes.

Do not regret the cream and do not press on the cake, otherwise it will drain, and the cake will not be soaked.

When all the cakes are folded, you need to thoroughly fluff the top and edges of the cake, and gently remove all the cream that has drained onto the dish.

Ready "Honey cake" can be decorated to taste.

The cake is stored in the refrigerator, but before that it should be left for two to three hours in the room (for better impregnation).

"Honey cake" with oil-condensed cream

There is another popular cream - condensed milk.

The recipe for honey cake is the same, but the filling is changing, take a look at the photo.


You will need:

  1. Condensed milk - 1 large can (360 grams).
  2. Butter - 200 grams.

Mix condensed milk and butter (slightly softened) into a homogeneous thick mass.

The process of assembling honey cake with condensed cream is exactly the same as on sour cream.

Tricks of "Medovika"

If your cake is with condensed cream, be sure to take condensed milk according to GOST in an iron can, and not “condensed product”.

Otherwise, your cream may turn out to be too liquid.

You can use both cake creams (sour cream and cream with condensed milk), spreading cakes in turns.

Do not throw away the trimmings from the cakes: you can crush them into crumb and sprinkle the cake.

So your “Honey cake” will be even tastier!

If you have not found a convenient form for cutting cakes, you can make a square cake.

To do this, roll the dough on the same square layers, and after baking, level them with a knife.

In addition to the crumbs, ready-made culinary masterpiece can be decorated with walnuts or pour over chocolate icing.

Honey cake does not apply to dietary dishes.

But life without small pleasures would be too boring!

A piece of this delicacy for breakfast or afternoon tea does not hurt the figure - but it will fill you with a wonderful mood for the whole day.

In any store you can find “Honey cake” of factory production, but homemade cake always surpasses it with its taste.

After all, it is made from fresh and natural products without any extraneous additives.

And most importantly - your care and warmth are invested in it!

Take a little time to watch the video, which describes in detail all the steps of making a Honey cake according to an old recipe.
