Actually, the information on this type of cake can be misleading for beginners. Because there are several different cakes called Caprice. One of them, the honey one, is called exactly that. Another, the Feminine Whim, changes its composition at will, true to its name)) The third, a lady's whim, hasn't strayed far from the second. And the fourth, a man's whim, is also made by different recipes. This means that if you're used to a certain Caprice cake, it's better to choose a recipe not by its name, but by the makeup of the products and the appearance.

Honey Whim is usually made in layers, with custard. Its cakes are thin. And depending on their thickness, it comes out moderately tall. A woman's whim is more often understood as a four-layer cake, in which each layer is made from different products: white sponge, chocolate, nut and poppy seed. The number of layers can vary from three to five. The cream is swapped out if desired. The cake comes out tender, soft and very tasty. Sometimes fresh fruit, berries or dried fruit are put in the filling. The name "feminine whim" is played on here because women are changeable creatures, their mood often shifts, which is why the cakes are so different)) So the recipes for a Woman's whim can differ greatly from one another.

The man's version can also be: honey, nutty, chocolate, combined, sponge, shortcrust or custard. Because men, too, often aren't known for constancy)) Why such confusion arose in the compositions and names is no longer clear. It's better to simply accept it as a fact and not argue with each other over which of the Caprice cake recipes is the "most correct."
