  10. We begin to gradually introduce flour, mixing the dough.

  12. Divide the dough into pieces. There should be 8 to 10 of them.

  13. We wrap each lump in cling film, send it to the refrigerator for 40 minutes.

  14. We will get the lumps separately and roll them out on parchment for baking. For convenience, grind it with flour. You need to roll out thinly enough, up to 3 mm thick. maximum.

  15. Cut the layer evenly with a plate. Trimmings can be connected, and make additional cakes. They will go for the cake, and come in handy for crumbs.
  16. We prick the cake with a fork so that it does not bubble.

  17. Together with parchment, transfer the dough to a baking sheet, send it to a hot oven for 5 minutes. The required temperature is 180 degrees.

  18. Bake all the cakes, give time to cool.

  19. Prepare the cream: in a bowl, mix sour cream and sugar. Add vanilla sugar and beat with a whisk until sugar dissolves. The cream is ready. Simple, like all genius.

  20. Grind the scraps from the cakes into crumbs. This can be done on a combine, or on a simple fine grater.

  21. Now the best part - assembling the cake. We smear the cakes with cream, put them in an appetizing pile. Don't forget to grease the sides too.

  22. We decorate our work with crumbs on all sides, send it to the refrigerator for impregnation. This will take 5-6 hours.

How to cook a delicious honey cake in a pan

Until I had this recipe in my piggy bank, I didn’t even know that a delicious honey cake can be cooked in an ordinary frying pan! But this is a fact. And for your attention - an amazing recipe with a photo.

The wish for the recipe is this - use a frying pan with a thick bottom. Cast iron, for example. So that the cakes would be well fried.

For the test you need to prepare:

  • Butter 100 gr.
  • Honey 60 gr.
  • Sugar 150 gr.
  • Eggs 3 pcs.
  • Sour cream 2 tbsp (20 per cent)
  • Flour 400 gr.
  • Soda 0.5 tsp

Cream products:

  • Sour cream 600 gr.
  • Sugar 100 gr.
  • Vanilla sugar 10 gr.

Preparing dough and baking cakes


Our handsome man is ready. Now you need to give him time to recover, soak in the delights of the cream.
After 5 hours, you can invite to the table. Eat to your health!

The honey cake has another affectionate name "Ryzhik". I advise you to watch the video recipe for its preparation at home.

In a saucepan put 2 eggs, 150 g of sugar, 120 g of honey (it is better to use buckwheat) and 85 g of good butter (not margarine and not spread!).

Place over medium heat and heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar has completely dissolved and the butter has melted.

Add 1 full tsp. soda.

Mix quickly. The mass will increase slightly in volume and brighten.

Remove from heat and add 350 g of sifted flour.

Mix well.

At this stage, the dough is quite sticky. But it shouldn't be liquid! Now the dough should be left on the kitchen table for 10 minutes - "rest" and "ripen". If after this time the dough sticks strongly to the hands and the table, add a little flour, no more than 50 g, otherwise the dough will turn out to be too dense and it will be very difficult to roll out.

The finished dough must be divided into equal pieces (or simply pinched off). I get 12 cakes 18 cm in diameter. Also, you need to prepare sheets of parchment (baking paper) in advance - according to the number of future cakes.

Roll out and bake!

Before you start rolling, turn on the oven. Cakes for honey cakes need to be baked at 180 degrees. We take a piece of dough, knead it, put it on a sheet of parchment dusted with flour.

Roll out.

Very thin! Approximately 3 mm, almost to the gaps!

And so - all future cakes. We prick them with a fork in several places. You can put them on top of each other right on the parchment, they will not stick together and will calmly wait for their turn.

We bake one or more cakes, depending on how much your oven allows. Mine only bakes optimally on medium, so I usually bake one cake at a time. Down, under the baking sheet with the cake, I always put a container of water, otherwise the bottom burns. Cakes are baked very quickly, up to 5 minutes. Watch out!

We take out the cake and immediately cut it into a plate (square or rectangular if you want the appropriate honey cake). Save the cuts.

Warm, the cake is quite soft. Fluffy, light and soft! Look!

So we baked all the cakes!

Take them off the parchment. Usually I spread it on it after I cut it in shape to be sure that the baked cakes do not stick to each other :) Here they are, our golden honey beauties!

Collecting the cake!

For this cake, we need sour cream. You need to do it in advance, but how - I told and showed in detail in the post. A homemade honey cake can be assembled without a ring (if, for example, you rarely make cakes and took up the honey cake only because it does not need a special form), but it is more reliable - after all, in it. I recommend it from the bottom of my heart: nothing will leak anywhere, and the cake is guaranteed to turn out even and beautiful! So, we take a ring (a special confectionery, a transformer or from a detachable baking dish), lay the walls with a film (I have an acetate one, but you can use any, most importantly, a dense one, it will be difficult to evenly distribute the other along the wall).

We put the cake. We put cream on it. Then more cake. Etc.

A few general tips for making Medovik cake according to the classic recipe: firstly, the number of eggs is indicated for category C-0 (these are large eggs), if you have a different category, and the eggs are, respectively, smaller, then take 4 pcs.

Secondly, the taste of cakes is very dependent on honey: the darker the honey, the richer the honey taste of the cake. But be careful - dark honey can give a slight bitterness. You can take honey liquid or thick (I have the last option).

Let's start cooking our Medovik (classic recipe).

In a bowl, lightly beat the eggs with a whisk.


In a small saucepan with a thick bottom, I combine 200 g of sugar, honey and half the butter. I let the honey melt over medium heat, stirring. Pour the eggs to the honey-oil mass and stir until the sugar and butter dissolve. I cook 5-7 minutes.


I add soda and leave for a minute on fire. Everything should double in volume. I take it off the fire.


Pour the mass from the pan into a large bowl and gradually pour in the flour. I knead the dough until smooth. Carefully form a ball and let the dough cool for a couple of minutes.
I divide the dough into eight parts and roll each into a ball. I cover with a towel so that it does not wind up while the oven is heating up (temperature 200 ° C).


I roll out a thin layer from each kolobok, prick with a fork and send it to the oven (3 minutes per cake).

To prevent the cake from deforming, roll it out directly on paper, and then transfer it to a baking sheet.


From the still warm cake, I cut out a circle or square of the desired size.
What is left of the cakes, I put in a blender and grind - they will go to decorate the cake.


Now you can take up the preparation of the cream.

In the classic Medovik there is sour cream, but I suggest making two delicious creams at once: with condensed milk and sour cream.

When choosing sour cream for cream, you need to remember one thing - the higher the fat content of sour cream, the more juicy the cake will turn out.

For sour cream, beat sour cream with a mixer, gradually adding the remaining sugar. It will take 10-15 minutes of your time.


For the second cream, you need exactly condensed milk without unnecessary additives. No condensed milk or condensed milk product with vegetable fats will do.

I beat the remaining softened butter with condensed milk into a homogeneous cream.

We can safely say that in Soviet times, the Medovik cake surpassed all recipes for homemade holiday baking in popularity. Since then, several of the most delicious and simple classic cake recipes have been known - with sour cream, condensed milk and custard. All of them are equal in terms of delicate honey taste. Then we shared recipes like some kind of treasure, and did not suspect that the chef of Emperor Alexander I came up with a honey-soaked dessert.

Now no one will remember the name of the confectioner, but the masterpiece remained with us, delighting and delighting. I hope that the proposed detailed step-by-step photo recipes will help you cope with the task.

The most delicious honey cake - a classic sour cream recipe

A classic is the recipe according to which a cake was prepared at home in Soviet times. It was made with sour cream, very simple and delicious. If you remember, many often called him "Ginger". But it turns out that the imperial cook, who came up with the idea of ​​baking cakes with honey and soaking them with cream, made sour cream.

You will need for cakes:

  • Eggs - a couple of pieces.
  • Salt - a pinch.
  • Butter - 100 gr.
  • Honey - 2 tbsp. spoons.
  • Soda - a small spoon.
  • Sugar - 220 gr.
  • Flour - 400 gr.

For sour cream:

  • Oil - 250 gr.
  • Powdered sugar - 200 gr.
  • Sour cream, fat - 300 gr.

Recipe with photo step by step

Initially, it is necessary to mix eggs in a saucepan with a pinch of salt, a sweetener - beat everything with a whisk (mixer).

Lay the butter, honey to the eggs, put the saucepan on medium heat.

Bring the mass to a boil, but in no case let it boil, otherwise the eggs will quickly curdle. Do not move away from the stove, constantly stir the contents of the saucepan.

Remove the saucepan from the burner, pour in the soda. Start stirring vigorously. Soon you will notice that the mass began to increase in volume. This is soda and honey reacted. Don't stop until the soda is done.

Leave the hot honey mass alone for a few minutes. Gradually, the foam will begin to sink. This is a signal to continue kneading the dough. Start adding flour little by little.

You may need a little more flour, or a little less than the specified amount, see the situation. But I do not advise adding more than the recipe says. The hot dough will stick to your palms at first. But after lying in the refrigerator, the mixture will cool down, the consistency will become quite dense, the stickiness will disappear.

Stir the dough first with a spoon. When this becomes difficult, move to the work surface of the table.

Keep working with your hands. The dough will be quite soft. Sprinkle flour a little at a time, otherwise the mass will become clogged with flour, it will become dense.

Roll the finished dough into a sausage as in the photo. Divide by the required number of cakes. You can cut the sausage into 6.8, 10 parts. I prefer to divide into 10 parts, because thin cakes are baked faster, better soaked in cream. As a result, the cake comes out more tender.

Cut the sausage, make a bun from each part.

Place them on a plate dusted with flour. Send on the shelf of the refrigerator to "rest" for an hour. During this time, the mass will finally “grab”, it will become dense, it will be easy to work with it. You can cool the dough at an earlier stage of preparation, before dividing into balls. But I prefer this way.

After an hour, remove the blanks from the refrigerator. Dust the worktop with flour. Roll out the bun into a thin cake. Then, using a ring with a diameter of 20 cm, cut out the blank for the cake. In the absence of a special tool, blanks can be cut with a plate of a suitable diameter.

Do not remove the trimmings, they need to be baked along with the cakes. Be sure to prick the crust all over with a fork to prevent the dough from bubbling too much in the oven.

Bake the cakes at 170 ° C. Baking takes place very quickly, no more than 5 minutes, until golden.

The beauty of the honey cake is that you can bake the cakes in advance. Place in a cool, dry place, wrapped in cling film, and use within 1-2 weeks. That is, there is an opportunity to prepare in advance for the festive chores, meeting guests.

Let's move on to cream. Combine the butter with powdered sugar, start beating with a mixer. Work for five minutes at high speed until the mixture is fluffy. Remove the butter from the refrigerator in advance, it should be at room temperature, soft.

Spread the cream evenly over the cakes. Do not forget to leave a couple of spoons for coating the sides of the honey cake.

We collect the cake. Lay cling film or paper on a serving plate, as shown in the photo. Drip a little cream in the middle so that the design does not slip.

Lay the cakes on top of each other, spreading the cream.

Cover the side with cream so that the cake is evenly soaked.

Grind the cake cuts into not too small crumbs. Sprinkle the top and decorate the sides - this is a classic honey cake decoration. Optionally, you can add any berries, nuts, chocolate chips.

It remains to carefully pull out the paper. Thus, after assembling the honey cake, the plate will remain clean.

  • 200 g of sugar;
  • half the oil;
  • 2-3 tbsp. l. honey;
  • 450 g of sifted flour;
  • soda on the tip of a spoon.

For the cream you will need:

  • half a kilo of sour cream;
  • three times less sugar;
  • 5 g vanillin.

Cooking cakes is as follows:

  2. While the water is heating, beat the sugar and eggs into a white elastic foam. Choose a bowl that will fit in a pot of water and won't be damaged by contact with boiling water.
  3. We introduce honey and softened butter with soda into the sweet mass. We beat everything again, send it to the bath and, stirring, warm it up. After 10 minutes, all products will completely dissolve.

  7. We heat the oven to 200 degrees.
  8. Roll out the pastry thinly and bake for 3-4 minutes. To get even cakes of the same size, use a frying pan lid or a plate of a suitable diameter as a stencil. In order for the cake to be even and not bubble, it must be pierced with a fork over the entire surface.
  9. Bake dough scraps with cakes. After, they can be broken into crumbs and decorate the cake with it.

  • 80 g butter;
  • 50-80 g sugar (to taste);
  • 1-2 tbsp. l. flour to create a thick consistency;
  • 2 tbsp. milk.

In this recipe, we will cook the other way around - let's start with the cream:

  1. Brew the cream from the above ingredients. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly. When it begins to thicken, it can be removed from the heat, set aside and allowed to cool slightly.
  2. In the meantime, it's time to do the cakes. Melt the butter and honey, beat the eggs with sugar and combine with the rest of the products. The last to introduce the oil-honey mixture. Knead the dough well and bake cakes out of it.

We will collect the cake, decorate and let it soak for 4-6 hours. Can be left overnight.

Honey cake in 15 minutes

According to this recipe, a soft, tender honey cake is obtained.

Dough:

  • a couple of eggs;
  • 3 art. l. Sahara;
  • 3 art. l. not candied honey;
  • 1 tsp soda;
  • 1 ½ - 2 tbsp. flour.

Cream:

  • 600 g of fat sour cream;
  • ½ st. Sahara.

Initially, we prepare the dough by combining all the prescription products together and kneading well with a mixer. The process won't take long. Then pour the batter into a baking dish and bake the cake at 180ºС for 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, whip the cream. We cut the finished cake lengthwise into 3 identical parts. We layer them with cream, collect the cake, also cover its sides, decorate and let it soak for just a couple of hours.

Honey cake "Ryzhik"

  • 2 eggs;
  • ½ st. Sahara;
  • 100 g of oil;
  • 3 art. l. honey;
  • 2 tsp soda;
  • 3 art. flour;
  • 1 can of condensed milk with sugar.

Let's start assembling the "Ryzhik":

  1. Beat the egg-sugar mixture until foamy (use only half the sugar). Then, in a separate, medium-sized saucepan, combine half the butter and the remaining sugar, heat over low heat until the latter is dissolved. To prevent the mass from burning, stir.
  2. Next, add honey and slaked soda. The mass will begin to boil and will increase in volume - so it's time to remove it from the stove. Let cool for a quarter of an hour, maybe a little more.
  3. We introduce the egg mixture, constantly stirring everything with a spoon.
  4. We put the pan back on a slow fire and, with constant stirring, sift in 2 cups of flour. When the mass begins to thicken and acquire a brownish tint, remove from heat and sift the remaining flour.
  5. We knead the dough, let it stand for a quarter of an hour, then divide it into 10 identical parts, roll them into cakes and bake on a floured baking sheet at 170ºС for 5-7 minutes.
  6. We prepare a cream from butter and milk, grease the cakes with it. Give it time to soak the dessert before serving.

Biscuit Cake

The biscuit consists of:

  • 7 eggs;
  • 1 st. Sahara;
  • 4 tbsp. l. honey;
  • 1 st. flour.

The cream will suit any of the above recipes.

For the test, you just need to combine the products and beat them well with a mixer. Then bake in a round shape, pouring out the dough in approximately equal portions. Or bake a large biscuit and cut it lengthwise into approximately the same cakes. Lubricate with the prepared cream and let it soak a little.

Cooking in a frying pan

  • 3 art. flour;
  • 2 eggs;
  • 2 tbsp. l. honey;
  • 130 g margarine;
  • 1 st. Sahara;
  • 1 tsp baking powder;
  • 1 can of condensed milk;
  • 200 g butter.

The cooking process is as follows:

  1. Melt honey and margarine in a slow water bath. Then remove and mix with flour, eggs, sugar and baking powder. Knead the dough thoroughly with a spoon - it will turn out to be quite liquid.
  2. Grease the frying pan with oil. Pour a thin layer of dough and bake until golden brown. In total, 5-6 blanks should turn out.
  3. We prepare the cream from melted butter and condensed milk, simply by whisking them together.
  4. Smear the finished cakes with cream, laying on top of each other. We also cover the sides of the cake with cream. Let's brew in the refrigerator.

With caramel flavor

Dough:

  • 400 g flour;
  • 150 g of sugar;
  • 110 g of oil;
  • 1 large or 2 small eggs;
  • ½ tsp soda;
  • 2 ½ st. l. flower or linden honey;
  • some citric acid.

Cream:

  • 200 g of condensed milk with sugar;
  • 200 g of the fattest cream;
  • 100 g of the fattest sour cream.

The preparation will be as follows:

  1. First of all, we measure the necessary products.
  2. The next step is to make the caramel. Pour sugar into a saucepan and put it on the stove to warm up. When the product melts and acquires a caramel hue, melt the butter separately and pour it into the caramel in liquid form. We do the same with honey. Stir the mass with a wooden spoon / spatula, but in no case a metal one.
  3. Cool the mass a little - if poured into a cold container and stir constantly, it will take 10-12 minutes, and if left in a hot saucepan, then longer. It is advisable to have a special thermometer in the kitchen.
  4. Mix soda, lemon juice and flour.
  5. In the cooled caramel, we introduce, stirring, the eggs, and then the flour mixture. Knead the dough with a spatula, then with your hands, laying it out on a work surface with flour.
  6. We divide the dough into equal pieces, from which we make cakes.
  7. For cream, beat separately condensed milk with sour cream and separately - cream into a fluffy mass. Combine both mixtures, mixing gently with a spoon.
  8. We collect the cake, layering caramel cakes with cream.
