Honey Cake Miracle

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Cake ingredients. The whole process takes place at a fairly fast pace. Therefore, make sure that all the necessary ingredients and tools are at hand.

2. Step 2:

   

   Let's start with the test. Put the butter, honey and sugar in a dish and put it in a water bath until the sugar is completely dissolved.

3. Step 3:

   

   The dough must be constantly mixed. When the mass has become completely homogeneous. Remove from the water bath.

4. Step 4:

   

   Add eggs to the hot dough. So that the protein does not curdle, it must be kneaded quickly and thoroughly. Add the eggs one at a time, and then everything will work out for sure.

5. Step 5:

   

   When all the eggs are added, we put the dish back on the water bath, and cook, stirring continuously, for five minutes so that the dough warms up properly. Then add the soda, and cook for a few more minutes, until the mass increases two or three times.

6. Step 6:

   

   Without removing from the heat, add 2 cups of flour, and knead thoroughly. The dough should be thicker than on pancakes.

7. Step 7:

   

   Pour 1 cup of flour on the table, pour the dough on top. Sprinkling flour liberally, knead a soft, dense dough. Be careful not to get burned!

8. Step 8:

   

   Roll the dough into a sausage and cut into pieces. For a cake of 26 cm - 7 pieces, 20 cm - 10 pieces. So that the dough does not cool down quickly, cover it with a towel.

9. Step 9:

   

   Take a piece of dough and roll it out thinly. Now there are two options - you can trim it on a plate, or a baking dish, or you can bake it as it is, uneven, and then trim the finished cake. The first option is preferable, so the cake will be smoother.

10. Step 10:

    

    Spread the dough piece on a baking sheet sprinkled with flour and bake at 180 degrees, about 3-5 minutes, depending on the oven.

11. Step 11:

    

    The cakes should turn light golden, if overexposed, they will become dark, brittle.

12. Step 12:

    

    Cut the cakes into crumbs. It will be useful to us for sprinkling. Well, if you don't plan to sprinkle the cake with crumbs, then you can eat the trimmings just like cookies :)

13. Step 13:

    

    The second stage is the preparation of the cream. Mix sugar with egg

14. Step 14:

    

    Beat up until smooth

16. Step 15:

    

    Add flour and vanilla, mix thoroughly.

17. Step 16:

    

    Pour in the milk, mix

18. Step 17:

    

    And put it in a water bath for 10 minutes. The cream should thicken, and turn out a little thinner than condensed milk. If the cream is almost boiling, but not thickened, add a little sugar and flour, and cook a little more. Then remove from the heat and leave to cool.

19. Step 18:

    

    In the cooled cream, add butter at room temperature, and whisk

20. Step 19:

    

    The cream should be light, airy, but at the same time keep its shape well.

21. Step 20:

    

    While the cream was cooling, we made chocolate icing. To do this, we mixed all the ingredients

22. Step 21:

    

    Until smooth, and put on medium heat.

23. Step 22:

    

    Cook the glaze until it boils. It will become more liquid and darker. Cool it down.

24. Step 23:

    

    So we have come to the last stage - the assembly of the cake.We smear each cake with cream

25. Step 24:

    

    And stack them up. To make the cake even tastier, you can not only smear each cake with cream, but also pour a little icing over it.

26. Step 25:

    

    Smear the sides of the cake with cream. If you do not plan to sprinkle the cake with crumbs, then you can prepare more cream and decorate it with a pastry syringe.

27. Step 26:

    

    Liberally pour the top of the cake with cooled chocolate icing.

28. Step 27:

    

    Sprinkle the cake with crumbs, decorate at your discretion, or you can leave it like that. We leave the cake for a couple of hours at room temperature for impregnation, and then we put it in the refrigerator so that the cream and glaze grab.

29. Step 28:

    

    We are calling the guests. The finished cake is served on the table. Bon appetit!
