Medovik cake in a water bath

10 servings
1 day

Put butter, honey and sugar in a spacious metal bowl or in a saucepan. Put everything in a water bath. Wait until everything melts and the mass becomes homogeneous.

Add soda to the mass and actively interfere. The mass will foam heavily and increase in volume. Cook until the colour is caramel. Then remove the mass and leave to cool a little.

Then add eggs to the mass and gradually add flour, knead the dough. Flour may need a little more or less than indicated. During the intervention process, monitor the consistency of the dough. The dough should be of such consistency that it will seem that you need to add a little more flour. But here it is worth stopping. Put the dough in the fridge for a few hours. It will cool down and take all the flour into itself. And it will stop sticking to the hands.

Roll out the finished dough and cut out the cakes of the required diameter from it.

Remove the excess dough. And pierce the cakes themselves with a fork around the entire perimeter. This is necessary so that bubbles do not appear on the bark when baking. Place a baking tray in the oven, warmed to 180 degrees for 4-6 minutes. Cakes are baked very quickly, so do not go far from the oven. Cool the ready-made corgi.

To make the cream, combine the fatty sour cream (at least 25% fat) and whisk everything into a lush, stable cream.

Layer the honey cakes generously with cream and collect the cake.

Brush the top and sides of the cake with cream as abundantly and refrigerate for soaking. The finished cake can be sprinkled with grated chocolate or poured over chocolate icing. Or you can bake the rest of the dough. Then grind them into crumbs and sprinkle the whole cake with them. Watch for your solemn occasion. Have a nice tea party!
