Honey cakes with cream on condensed milk and butter

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Ingredients.

2. Step 2:

   

   In a large cup, cut the butter of any shape.

3. Step 3:

   

   Add sugar, eggs, honey. Just mix everything with a spoon.

4. Step 4:

   

   We are building a water bath. We take a saucepan or a large cup, pour water, put it on the stove and warm it up. We put a cup with ingredients on top (Pour enough water into the bottom cup so that it approximately reaches the bottom of the upper cup).

5. Step 5:

   

   Warm up and stir to melt the butter and honey.

6. Step 6:

   

   The mass has become monotonous, add a teaspoon of soda (no need to extinguish). Mix well. Remove from the heat, the bottom cup can be removed – it is no longer needed.

7. Step 7:

   

   Pour 2 cups of flour into the butter-honey mass and mix with a spoon, since the mass is still hot. While you are stirring, it will cool down a little.

8. Step 8:

   

   Then add 2 more cups of flour and knead the dough with your hands. I always have exactly 4 glasses in the dough – a faceted glass. In grams, this is 4 cups x 160 grams = 640 grams.

9. Step 9:

   

   The dough turns out smooth, will stick to your hands and easily sculpt, resembles plasticine. Roll the finished dough into a sausage and cut into 6 pieces for six cakes.

10. Step 10:

    

    Oil the parchment paper. We take 1 piece of dough, knead it with our hands into a flat cake and roll it out with a rolling pin on paper. See the size for yourself, based on the width of the baking sheet or shape. I have it designed for a diameter of 24 cm.

12. Step 11:

    

    Move the parchment sheet with the dough to the baking sheet. Bake in a preheated 180 degree oven for 10-15 minutes, be guided by the golden crust. So bake the rest of the cakes. If the oven is allowed, you can bake 2 cakes at once.

13. Step 12:

    

    The finished cake is immediately removed from the sheet and left to cool.

14. Step 13:

    

    Ready-cooled cakes are stacked on top of each other. Align with your hands.

15. Step 14:

    

    Holding the top with your hand, we align the edges of the cake with a knife, cutting off the protruding parts.

16. Step 15:

    

    With a knife, we chop the cut parts into crumbs for sprinkling the cake. You can not cut off the edges, but take crushed cookies for sprinkling.

17. Step 16:

    

    Preparing the cream. Beat the softened butter into a monotonous mass with a mixer, adding condensed milk.

18. Step 17:

    

    Smear cream cakes. Approximately 2 - 2.5 tablespoons of cream for each cake.

19. Step 18:

    

    You can also spread cream on the sides of the cake. But I, usually smearing the top of the cake, leave dripping drops on the edges. Sprinkle the top with crumbs.

20. Step 19:

    

    The cake is ready! We leave it for impregnation overnight. It's easy to make honey cakes! Bon appetit!
