Honey cake with boiled condensed milk and sour cream classic

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to bake a honey cake with boiled condensed milk and sour cream classic? Measure out the necessary ingredients for the dough. Honey can be used both liquid and thickened.

2. Step 2:

   

   Sift the flour through a sieve so that it is enriched with oxygen. Thanks to this, the cakes will rise better during baking.

3. Step 3:

   

   In a small saucepan or fireproof container, whisk eggs with sugar until smooth.

4. Step 4:

   

   Add honey and butter, mix lightly. It is desirable that the butter is soft, then it will melt easier and faster.

5. Step 5:

   

   Put the container on the water bath. To do this, pour water into a larger saucepan, place a container with the resulting mixture on it. The water in the lower pan should boil moderately and not touch the bottom of the upper container. With constant stirring, so that the eggs do not curdle, bring the mass to the complete dissolution of honey and butter.

6. Step 6:

   

   Pour soda into the resulting mixture, mix well.

7. Step 7:

   

   As a result of the interaction of soda with the components of the mixture, a lush foam will appear on the surface. Hold the mass for another 1-2 minutes and remove from the water bath.

8. Step 8:

   

   Pour the resulting mass into a suitable container for kneading dough, wait for it to cool down to a warm state. Pour in the sifted flour, mix thoroughly. Knead the dough with a spoon.

9. Step 9:

   

   The dough should turn out to be viscous, uncool, but also non-liquid.

10. Step 10:

    

    Draw a circle on the parchment using a plate of the desired diameter. Form a thin cake, distributing the dough, slightly going beyond the boundaries of the circle. Flatten the dough with a wet spoon. In the future, I smoothed the dough with a spatula, so the top of the cake turns out smoother.

11. Step 11:

    

    Bake the cake in a preheated 160-170C oven until golden brown for about 5-6 minutes. Adjust the baking time based on the characteristics of your oven. Cut the edges of the cake on the same plate. I have a diameter of cakes 19 cm. The trimmings can be used for the exterior decoration of the cake.

13. Step 12:

    

    Similarly bake cakes from all the honey dough. Choose the thickness of the cakes as desired. If the cakes are thicker, respectively, their number will be less. Such honey cakes, unlike the classic version, are soft.

14. Step 13:

    

    To prepare the cream, use chilled products to make the cream whisk better. Take boiled condensed milk of good quality, without vegetable fats.

15. Step 14:

    

    Beat the sour cream with a mixer until fluffy for 3-4 minutes.

16. Step 15:

    

    Add boiled condensed milk to sour cream in small portions, whisk until smooth. At the end of whipping, add the vanilla.

17. Step 16:

    

    The cream turns out to be moderately thick.

18. Step 17:

    

    Place the cake on a flat plate. Lubricate the cake with the richly obtained cream.

19. Step 18:

    

    Putting the cakes on top of each other and smearing with cream, assemble the whole cake. From above and from the sides, also cover the honey cake with cream.

20. Step 19:

    

    Trim the cakes using a blender and grind into crumbs.

21. Step 20:

    

    Cover the cake with crumbs on top and sides. You can choose a different cake finish if desired. Put the honey cake in the refrigerator so that the cakes are well soaked with cream. It is better to leave it overnight, then the cake will be especially tender and soaked.

22. Step 21:

    

    Decorate the cake in any way before serving. Bon appetit!
