Christmas tree cake for the New Year made of honey cakes

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make a Christmas tree cake from honey cakes? First of all, we will prepare cakes. Prepare everything you need for the test. Wash the eggs and dry them with paper napkins. Choose any honey, but the more fragrant it is, the brighter the baking will turn out. Sift the flour through a sieve to saturate it with oxygen.

2. Step 2:

   

   It is convenient to use a non-stick pan to prepare the dough. Combine butter and honey in it. Put it on the fire and heat it so that the butter melts. It is not necessary to boil.

3. Step 3:

   

   In a separate bowl, combine the eggs with sugar and beat them a little until a light foam appears. Without stopping whipping, pour the hot honey mixture into the eggs.

4. Step 4:

   

   Then return everything to the fire and, with constant stirring, bring to a boil. Remove the pan from the heat and pour soda into the hot mass. Mix it up. The honey mass will begin to foam and increase in volume. Stir the mass for a minute. Then set aside and cool to a warm state.

5. Step 5:

   

   Pour the sifted flour into the cooled mass and knead the dough. At this stage, it will still stick to your hands a little. Cover it with cling film and leave it to stand for 1-2 hours. During this time, the dough will infuse, cool completely, become soft, plastic and will not stick to your hands at all. Please note that you may take more or less flour than I do. Be guided by the consistency of the dough.

6. Step 6:

   

   Cut out a Christmas tree stencil from a sheet of A4 paper. Divide the dough into 3 parts and roll each into a thin layer, 4-5 mm thick. Cut out the herringbone according to the stencil. Prick it with a fork over the entire surface so that the dough does not rise in bubbles when baking. Put the Christmas tree in the oven, preheated to 180 degrees, for 4-6 minutes.

7. Step 7:

   

   Honey cakes are baked very quickly. Be guided by your oven. The cakes will become honey-golden in color. Cool them down.

9. Step 8:

   

   Prepare everything you need for the filling. The cream should be chilled, and the cheese should be at room temperature. Berry filling can be any. I really like the combination with black currant.

10. Step 9:

    

    Whisk the cream with powdered sugar into a stable cream. Then mix the curd cheese into it.

11. Step 10:

    

    Under the bottom herringbone, drop a little cream so that it does not slip on the substrate. With the help of pastry bags, spread the cream over the entire surface of the Christmas tree, and in the center, not reaching the edges, lay out the berry filling.

12. Step 11:

    

    So assemble the cake. Put it in the cake box and close it. In this form, put the cake in the refrigerator for a day. In a closed container, all moisture will be absorbed into the cakes, thereby impregnating them well.

13. Step 12:

    

    The finished cake can be decorated with cream, berries, fruits or sweets.
