Hello readers! Everyone in our family loves honey cake. This is one of the most delicious cakes. This dessert is quite easy to prepare, but, of course, you will have to spend a lot of time: about 3 hours. But the taste of honey cake is worth it.

I recently baked this cake for family celebration, we ate it in 2 days, although it was not small, about 3 kilograms. There are quite a lot of calories in honey cake, about 450 kcal per 100 g. So don’t get carried away with this deliciousness, so that later you don’t have to look for recipes like

I think it’s better not to buy baked goods in the store, because they don’t make cakes and cookies with butter anymore. Replace butter with margarine, which is hydrogenated fat, that is, trans fat, which clogs blood vessels and leads to atherosclerosis, and then to or. Bake it yourself, so you will know for sure that there is no margarine, preservatives or artificial colors in the cake.

In this article I give step by step photo recipe preparing honey cake. According to this recipe, anyone, even a beginner, can make a cake. Wish Have a good mood while cooking!

Dough:

• sugar - 1 full faceted glass
• eggs - 3 pcs. (C1) or 2 pcs. (C0)
• butter - 50 gr.
• honey - 4 tbsp. l. (150 gr.)
• flour - 5 tbsp.
• soda - 1 tsp.

Cream with condensed milk:

• condensed milk - 1 can
• butter - 200 gr. Should be softened. Remove it from the refrigerator before preparing the dough.

Sour cream:

• sour cream - 400 gr.
• sugar - 1 glass

Classic honey cake: method of preparation.

The dough for the honey cake is prepared in a water bath. Therefore, you need to prepare two pans at once different sizes. IN large saucepan Pour in water so that it does not flow out when boiling. Place the water on the stove to heat up.

Now take a second smaller pan. We will brew our dough in it. Keep in mind that the dough will double in size when brewing. Take a pan no smaller than 2.5 liters.

Beat eggs into this pan. My eggs were medium in size, I took 3 of them. If your eggs are large (C0), then take 2 pieces. Add a glass of sugar to the eggs.

Using a mixer or whisk, beat the eggs with sugar until foamy.

Whipped egg mixture add butter, honey and soda. In the photo, the soda and honey are drowned, but they are there :)

Brewing the dough in a water bath.

Place a small pan of dough in boiling water. Now you need to brew the dough for about 20 minutes until the sugar, honey and butter are completely dissolved. Don't forget to stir the dough as often as possible. During the heating process, the mass will begin to increase and foam, this is bound to happen.

After 20 minutes, you need to sift (be sure to sift) a glass of flour into our foamy mass. Now mix well and brew for about 1 minute.

Remove the pan with the dough from the water bath. And sift some more flour there. Sifted 1 glass and mixed with a spoon. Then the second glass was sifted and mixed. I ended up with about 3 cups of flour at this stage. Add flour until you can stir the dough with a spoon.

Pour a little flour (about 1 cup) onto the table and place our dough on it. Now knead with your hands elastic dough(be careful, it may still be hot). Be careful not to fill it with flour. If the dough is already good, but there is flour left, then remove it to the side. Better than flour take less rather than more. Moreover, after cooling, the dough will become even harder.

Now wrap the finished dough in cling film and put it in the refrigerator to cool. You should not keep it in the refrigerator for a long time, otherwise the dough may break and crumble when rolling. It will be enough to keep it in the cold for 15-20 minutes, the main thing is that it is not warm.

Preparing cream for honey cake.

While the dough is resting and cooling, you can prepare the cream. I like to make honey cake with two types of cream - with condensed milk and sour cream. You can give preference to one particular cream. But these two creams together make the honey cake simply incomparable. Every sweet tooth will appreciate your masterpiece.

The first cream is very simple to make. Pour a can of condensed milk into a bowl. It is very important to buy real condensed milk, without herbal supplements. Real condensed milk cannot cost less than 60 rubles. I like Rogachev milk, it is made according to GOST, thick and tasty, just like in my childhood.

Place 200 grams in condensed milk. softened butter. And beat with a mixer until thick and fluffy.

Now you can turn on the oven to warm up to 180 degrees, so you don’t have to wait. And start preparing the second cream. It will require 400 gr. sour cream and a glass of sugar. Sugar should be added gradually and beat with a mixer with sour cream. Beat for about 10 minutes, the cream should increase in volume.

Cover both creams with film and put them in the refrigerator until needed.

Baking cakes.

If you haven't done this yet, it's time to take the dough out of the refrigerator. Sprinkle the work surface with flour to prevent the dough from sticking. Now divide the dough into 8 equal pieces.

Take the first piece and roll it out thinly and evenly.

Now you need to give the cake a circle shape. This can be done using a lid or plate. I take a plate of such size that it will fit on the baking sheet on which I will bake. I have a cake layer (and a plate, respectively) with a diameter of 22 cm. If you want to make the cake smaller in diameter, then make more cake layers.

Place the plate on the rolled out dough and cut out a circle with a knife.

Grease the baking tray a little vegetable oil. Can be baked on parchment. Now we transfer the cut out cake and trimmings to the baking sheet. The trimmings will be needed for crumbs.

The cake is baked for about 4-5 minutes at a temperature of 180 degrees. Make sure the cakes don't burn. While one is baking, roll out and cut out the next layer. Ready-made cakes carefully place on a plate using a spatula. They are very soft when hot, be careful not to break them. Place the scraps in a separate plate.

When the cakes cool, they become hard and crispy (tested on scraps that children carry around, despite the ban 🙂). Don't worry about it, that's how it should be. After soaking in cream they will become soft.

Bake all 8 cakes this way. It turns out to be a stack like this.

Assembling the honey cake.

Now let's start assembling the cake. We spread the first cake sour cream. Place the second cake layer on it and spread it butter cream with condensed milk. And so on, smearing all the cakes one by one. It turns out that 4 cake layers will be anointed with each cream. Sour cream is runny, so it will run off. It's not scary, you'll pick it up later. It will thicken in the refrigerator after soaking.

At the end, coat the edges well so that they do not remain dry.

Grind the cake scraps into crumbs. I do this with a rolling pin. And sprinkle the cake on top and sides. You can mix the crumbs with 1 tbsp. l. sour cream and this sticky mass to cover the sides and level them, giving the cake the desired look.

If desired, you can sprinkle grated nuts on top. This will create a new flavor note.

Place the finished cake in the refrigerator for several hours, preferably overnight, for soaking. Don’t forget to cover it with something, even a bag, so that the honey cake doesn’t get weathered and dry out.

That's it, the honey cake is ready! Bon appetit!

Well, if you just want something sweet, but don’t want to spend a lot of time on baking, cook it - quickly and tasty.

Have a nice day, everyone!

Honey cake “Miracle” - truly delicious dessert, the taste of which your guests will remember for a long time.

It’s not that difficult to prepare, and the ingredients you’ll need are quite affordable:

• sifted flour – 400-450 grams;
• granulated sugar – 380-400 grams;

Baking with condensed milk

Types of cream for honey cake- a great many. But it is possible not to strain and not to work magic on the cream, saving time and effort. The classic recipe for honey cake with condensed milk is an excellent confirmation of this.

Ingredients you will need:

• condensed milk (can be boiled) – namely, high-quality milk from an iron can, and not a “condensed product”;
• granulated sugar - no less than a glass;
• raw testicles - three pieces;
• butter (can be replaced with butter margarine) – 50 grams for dough and another 200 for cream;
• up to 600 grams of flour;
• soda - a teaspoon;

We follow the instructions.

1. Beat granulated sugar in the company of eggs until white, fluffy foam. To make it faster, turn on the mixer. Then add honey, soda and soft butter, stir a little. Next, the mixture waits in a water bath. Stir and wait until the volume increases.
2. Now add a third of the flour and mix thoroughly. Has the mass thickened? This means it’s time to leave the bathhouse.
3. In a thin stream, slowly, introduce the rest of the flour powder. Knead until you get honey dough.
4. Divide it into six pieces and roll into balls. They need to “rest” on the table for a little while, about 15 minutes.
5. Roll out all the lumps thinly. Then they need to be baked. The oven should be heated to 160 C, baking time - from 5 to 7 minutes.
6. We trim the still warm cakes evenly and shape them into squares. Finely chop the trimmings and set aside for a while.
7. We took the butter out of the refrigerator a long time ago, it is already soft. Let's beat together with condensed milk.
8. Thickly cover each cake layer with this cream and assemble the cake. Cover the surface with crumbs and cream it too. Let's not forget about the sides.
9. Next, place the honey cake in the refrigerator for half a day. Then we serve it to the table, delighting wonderful taste household members and guests.

If you roll out the dough when it is slightly warm and use liquid honey, the cake will come out perfect.

Dessert without main ingredients

It happens that you start a honey cake, but you don’t have all the ingredients at home, and you can’t run to the store or market. There are a couple of recipes that exclude eggs and even honey from the list, for example.

When there are no eggs

There's not a single egg left in the refrigerator, but you want some cake? So, we can do without them.

Because we have for the test:

• three and another half glass of flour;
• 2/3 cup granulated sugar;
• a couple of tables. spoons of sour cream and fragrant honey;
• one and a half teaspoons of soda;
• half a pack of good creamy margarine(if there is oil, even better).

For cream:

• half a glass of sugar - fine and white;
• half a liter of fat thick sour cream;
• 100-150 grams of dried apricots (possibly prunes).

What should we do next?

1. Heat the oil in a water bath. As soon as it “floats”, add honey and sugar to it, without wasting time, stir quickly.
2. We also send sour cream and a glass of flour powder there. Mix again.
3. Directly above the pan, extinguish the soda with vinegar and immediately add it to the mixture. Mix again and remove from the bath. Let it cool for five to seven minutes.
4. Add flour little by little (as much as you need) and knead the dough. Divide into six parts. We wrap each one in film and place it in freezer for about twenty minutes.
5. We take out one at a time, unfold each one in the required form on a sheet of parchment. Prick with a fork and transfer to the oven (there the temperature is already 180-200 C). The cakes are baked quickly, literally from three to six minutes. They are very delicate and brittle (there are no eggs in the dough). So we handle them carefully and let them cool completely right on the parchment.
6. Our sour cream for cream hung in a gauze bag over the pan for a couple of hours, parted with excess liquid and whipped with sugar. And the dried apricots (or prunes, or all together), after a 10-minute bath of boiling water, are dried and chopped into strips.
7. We “construct” the honey cake: we grease each of the five cake layers with cream and cover them with a thin layer of dried fruits. We remember that the sides are also waiting for a good portion of “lubricant”. Crumble the sixth shortbread and sprinkle thickly on all surfaces of our dessert.
8. Let the cake sit in the refrigerator for at least eight hours. This way it will be thoroughly saturated with cream and will melt in your mouth.

But if we take molasses instead of the missing honey, we need:

• 180 grams of granulated sugar;
• a shot glass with a quarter of water;
• on the tip of a knife soda and citric acid.

Before making molasses, let’s remind ourselves of the following rules: you need to do everything quickly and without mistakes (otherwise nothing will work); You will need to apply the molasses as soon as we prepare it.

1. As soon as the water boils, add sugar. Under no circumstances should we put a spoon into a saucepan! Mix by turning the bowl itself.
2. Have the crystals completely dissolved? Wonderful. Cook some more (no longer than 10 minutes). The syrup is ready when a drop of it is in ice water won't be soft. We check every minute so that we don’t end up with a hard sugar ball that is unsuitable for us.
3. As soon as the mixture reaches the required consistency, do not yawn: immediately add soda and lemon and mix vigorously. Did you get foam? This means we are doing everything right.
4. Remove from heat only after foaming goes away on its own.
5. The finished molasses looks just like liquid honey. We will introduce it into the dough.

Each housewife has her own favorite, so-called “crown”, recipe for Honey cake at home. We offer you the best of them.

It appeared about 200 years ago, when the cook of Emperor Alexander I prepared a delicious dessert for his wife. The name of the culinary specialist has not been preserved in history, but Russian honey cake has become a classic confectionery art. Now there are many recipes delicious honey cakes, however initially famous cake represented honey cakes with sour cream. How is honey cake prepared now?

A simple recipe for honey cake dough

Every housewife has her own recipe for making honey cake at home, because a cake baked with your own hands is much better than factory-made baked goods, which also add dyes, preservatives and flavorings. Why artificially improve the taste of an already wonderful dessert?

To prepare the dough you will need a little liquid honey, flower or linden, eggs, sugar, butter (it should not be replaced with margarine), flour and baking powder.

First, melt honey, sugar and butter in a water bath, then add beaten eggs, baking powder and a little flour, beating the mixture well with a mixer and rubbing so that there are no lumps. Kneading the dough in a water bath makes the cakes especially soft and tender. After the mixture is removed from the heat, the dough is brought to such a consistency that it can be rolled out, and then put in the refrigerator for 40 minutes. Interestingly, German honey cake is prepared using yeast, there is also Lenten recipes no eggs or butter.

Honey cake cream recipe

The cream for honey cake is made simply - sour cream is whipped with sugar, sometimes condensed milk is added to it. The sour cream should be very fresh, chilled and with a high percentage of fat content to make the cream more airy and velvety. The cakes will be perfectly soaked with cream prepared on the basis of liquid sour cream, but there will be no creamy layer between them. If the sour cream is liquid, pour it into gauze, folded several times, and leave for 3 hours to drain. excess liquid. The sour cream will thicken and whip perfectly.

If you use powdered sugar instead of sugar, the texture of the cream will become more pleasant, and grains of sugar will not squeak on your teeth. You can add it to the cream coconut flakes, nuts, jam, marmalade, chopped fruit, a little orange or lemon zest, cocoa or chocolate. The custard in this cake is also very tasty.

By the way, honey cake is also made with butter cream: for this, soft butter (at least 82.2% fat content) is whipped with boiled condensed milk for 10–15 minutes until the mass increases in volume. If you coat the cakes different creams, alternating layers, the cake will acquire original taste, since sour cream will pleasantly set off the sweetness of condensed milk and the honey cake will not be so cloying.

How to make honey cake cakes correctly

The settled dough is divided into pieces according to the number of cakes, and each piece is thinly rolled into a circle. The remaining dough at this moment should be covered with a napkin or cling film, otherwise it will dry out. Usually in standard recipe It turns out about 7-10 cakes, to level which you can put a plate, mold or other template on top.

The cakes are pierced in several places with a fork, placed on a baking sheet and baked one by one for 5-7 minutes in the oven. After baking, the shape of the cake is corrected by cutting off the edges with a knife; moreover, they turn out smoother and more beautiful precisely when they are cut at finished form. After this, the cakes are coated with cream and sprinkled with crushed biscuit scraps, nuts and chocolate on top and sides. When covering the cake with cream, do not forget about the edges of the cakes so that they are also well soaked and soft.

A few secrets from the pastry chef

Do not use buckwheat and acacia honey for dough: despite incomparable taste and the aroma of these types of honey, the cakes will be a little bitter. Honey must be liquid in order for the dough to be homogeneous in structure, so it is better to melt the candied honey in a water bath.

Before kneading the dough, be sure to remove the eggs from the refrigerator - they should be at room temperature, and it is better to sift the flour so that the cakes are light and airy. When the dough is kneaded in a water bath, the water in the saucepan should not boil, but gurgle slightly, that is, the fire should be kept low. If you are using baking powder instead of baking soda, add it at the end of mixing. Some housewives advise adding soda not during the preparation of the dough, but to the eggs when beating - this way they increase in volume faster.

Another valuable advice: when you start assembling the honey cake, first put a little cream on the dish, and then place the first cake layer to make the cake juicier and softer.

How to make a cake:

Baking cakes

Let's start preparing the dessert by preparing the cake layers, there will be nine of them.

To prepare the dough, we use the water bath method; to do this, pour water into a saucepan and bring to a boil.

Place the bowl on the pan, making sure that the water does not reach the bottom of the bowl. Put butter in a bowl, add sugar and add honey. Choose honey according to your taste. The taste of the cake depends on the type of honey.

While heating in a water bath, mix everything well; you will spend 4 - 5 minutes on this so that everything dissolves until smooth.

Add soda, mix everything again, after adding soda, the mass should lighten and increase in volume.

Remove the bowl from the water bath and immediately add the eggs one at a time, stirring quickly so that the eggs do not cook in the hot mixture.

After cooling the dough slightly, add flour in several portions, stirring each one, you may need no more than 300 grams, make sure that the dough does not turn out too stiff, then the cakes will turn out softer. Finish kneading the dough with your hands, adding a little flour if necessary.

We make a kind of sausage out of the dough and cut it into 9 equal parts.

Using your palms, roll each part into a ball.

On a baking sheet, roll out the future cakes in a thin layer.
