Medovik (sweet And Sticky Honey Cake)

Ingredients

  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour 6 (9-inch) round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the honey and butter, and mix until well combined.
  3. Dissolve the baking soda in 1 tablespoon of hot water, and add it to the egg mixture. Gradually stir in the flour until a soft dough forms.
  4. Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a thin circle and place it on the prepared cake pans. Prick the dough with a fork to prevent air bubbles from forming.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the layers are golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
  6. Whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Spread a generous amount of whipped cream between each layer of the cake, stacking them on top of each other.
  7. Spread the remaining whipped cream on the top and sides of the cake. Drizzle with honey and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
