Airy honey cake
1
Airy honey cake is a legendary dessert that captivates with its delicate taste from the first to the last bite. Its honey layers are prepared with baking soda, which gives a porous texture that literally melts in your mouth. In addition, the sour cream filling makes it especially juicy, and long resting time significantly enhances the softness of each slice.
The layers bake quickly, but the real magic happens in the refrigerator, when the cake develops its rich and complex flavors. The next day you will get a result that is worth the wait - light, aromatic, and incredibly delicious.
Variations
- Instead of sour cream filling, you can use custard cream.
- Adding nuts between the layers.
- Covering with chocolate glaze to enhance flavor depth.
Secrets of softness and taste
- Do not overwork the dough after adding baking soda.
- Roll the layers as thinly as possible to achieve the desired texture.
- The cream should be at room temperature for better soaking.
Tips for ingredients
- Choose liquid and fragrant honey to emphasize the honey flavor.
- Sour cream should be at least 20% fat for the cream.
- Powdered sugar can be made at home from regular sugar to save time and money.
Small cooking nuances
- The layers bake quickly, no more than 3-4 minutes, to avoid overdrying.
- The cake must rest for at least 6 hours to achieve the perfect texture.
- Cake trimmings can be used for sprinkling, giving it a nice look and extra crunch.
