How do you make soft, tender and simple honey cakes from chocolate dough with lemon and berry jam? Very fast and simple! First, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. Take the top grade flour. Butter and eggs should be at room temperature, so take them out of the fridge beforehand. Jam can be used to taste anything. I have cherry.

Combine the soft butter with honey and lemon zest. Whisk with a mixer until fluffy. You can knead the dough not with a mixer, but with a whisk by hand.

Continuing to whisk, add the chicken eggs one at a time.

Pour in the vegetable oil and whisk again.

Sift the flour with cocoa and baking powder and pour parts into the dough. Flour may need more or less, so focus primarily on consistency.

It should turn out a lush very tender, but rather thick, non-flowing dough.

Transfer the dough to a parchment-lined and oiled baking tray (25x30cm) and flatten. I did not have a tray of this size, I had to use a shape of 21x31cm. Therefore, the cakes turned out to be quite high.

Bake the cake for about 30-40 minutes at 160 ° C until a dry match. Cool the finished cake and carefully remove from the mold. The bark is tender, airy and breaks easily. Cut along into two equal parts. If necessary, level the edges with a knife.

Brush one half thoroughly with berry jam. Cover with a second bark. The consistency of the jam should be thick enough. Jam can be replaced with soft marmalade or thick confitur. The dough is very porous and quickly absorbs less thick fillings such as jam.

Cut the cakes into serving cakes. Garnish with mint. Enjoy your meal!
