How to make a classic Soviet cake Medovik? Prepare the necessary ingredients for this. Sieve the flour in advance through a sieve to saturate it with oxygen.

Combine the honey with butter and melt.

Mix the eggs with the sugar.

Then stir honey mixture in to the eggs and put everything on the heat.

I have a non-stick saucepan - so I put it right on the fire. In any other pan, you need to cook in a water bath, otherwise the dough will burn. Pour soda into a saucepan and, constantly interfering, bring to a boil. Honey will react with soda and the mass will begin to foam. Gradually, the mass will begin to darken. Pour in 1/3 of the flour and stir it in.

At this stage, the dough is still liquid, but some of the flour has already been brewed. Remove the pan from the heat and gradually stir in the remaining flour. It may need a little more or less. Navigate the consistency of the finished dough.

The dough is soft and slightly sticky to the hands. Cover with film and leave to lie for 15 minutes. During this time, the flour will come and the dough will stop sticking to the hands. Therefore, do not add excess flour during kneading.

Divide the finished dough into 6-8 parts and roll each in a thin layer on a sheet of parchment. Tip the dough with a fork. Place in the oven, preheated to 180 degrees, for 5-7 minutes.

The finished cake will be a mouth-watering dark gold color. Remove it from the oven and cut the 18-22cm circle straight through the hot one.

So bake all the cakes, and leave the trimmings for sprinkling.

For the cream, combine the sour cream and icing sugar and whisk into the puffy cream.

Rinse all the cakes with cream and collect the cake.

Sour cream is usually liquid. Therefore, so that the cake is even and the cakes do not disperse along the edge do not soak, it is convenient to fix it in a ring. Put the cake in the fridge overnight.

Remove the ring from the soaked cake.

Grind the remaining trimmings into crumbs.

Sprinkle the cake on all sides with crumbs and garnish to your taste. Nice treat!
