Napoleon Honey Cake just melts in your mouth

Dissolve butter, sugar and honey in a water bath, stirring constantly for 30-50 minutes. I take a large wooden spoon, it does not sink into the saucepan and does not heat up. Add soda and extinguish with vinegar, I do it right in the dough, stir. The mixture will noticeably increase in volume. Beat 2 eggs separately and pour in a thin stream while stirring. Add 3-3.5 cups of flour, add gradually, when kneading with a spoon will be difficult, remove from the water bath and let it cool down a little.

Preparing the cream: the oil must be left in advance so that it softens. Beat the butter, sugar and sour cream (necessarily fatty thick consistency, it does not spread over the cake and is spread evenly and well impregnates our cake) into a homogeneous mass, you do not need to beat for a long time, you can just mix with a spoon. There is a glass of sugar indicated there, but this is for a very sweet tooth, I usually don't get enough sleep.))

So, now the most interesting thing, we take a small piece of dough, roll it out as thinly as possible, adding a little flour. I have them so that they are already translucent)) the thinner the cakes, the more tender the cake will be. Then we take a bowl of the cake size we need, apply and cut off the edges with a knife (in the case of a pillow cake, I took a box of chocolates of the size I needed))

The dough is remarkably behind the table, has an elastic shape. And even if it breaks, do not worry, it can be folded later when assembling the cake and no one will notice anything))

IMPORTANT: it is better not to save on the quality of flour, as you will have to suffer a lot, the cakes will tear, stick to the table or "spring" too much, when carried on a baking sheet they decrease in size.

We sprinkle the baking sheet with flour, spread our cake and put it in the oven, it does not matter whether it is heated or not)), we set the degree depending on the number of baking sheets and those who want to help you, since the cake is baked in a matter of minutes, you will have to do everything very quickly)

Cakes when baking rise in size 2-3 times, so you can not worry about the height of your cake) Do not immediately remove the cake, let it stand for a minute, harden.

All cakes in the photo weighing 2.5 kg (with mastic), except that with a rainbow, there are more figures, this is one and a half portions of what is indicated in the composition. From the cooled cakes with a knife, chicken out the remnants of flour and proceed to the assembly of the cake, smear with cream.

We leave the cake overnight for impregnation. And that's it, bon appetit!!
If anyone wants to go further, there are a lot of options for decoration, as you can see, as they say, there would be a desire)))

IMPORTANT: this cake is with sour cream, which means you definitely need a cream for mastic, I stirred condensed milk with butter and covered the cake abundantly, align it well and put it in the refrigerator, then cover with mastic. They also use ganache, but I haven't tried it yet.

In the case of the basket cake, I used a shokomastika, I'll post the recipe a little later.
Figurines, bows, crowns, leaves and other decorations are made in advance.
