Easy Honey Cake Recipe

This easy honey cake recipe is one of the simplest cake recipes ever. No need to roll out the cake layers, it takes a maximum of 1-1.5 hours to bake and assemble, so you cook in the evening, and in the morning your family enjoys a delicious tender and juicy honey cake.

You can add any filling you want: prunes, bananas, raspberries, nuts, salted caramel (the recipe for the best one is here), etc., or you can add nothing at all, it will still be delicious.

Ingredients:

For the cake layers

5 eggs
250 g sugar
180 g honey
340 g all-purpose flour
20 g cocoa
a pinch of salt
1 tsp soda

For the frosting

500 g sour cream 30% fat (you can use crème fraîche)
150 g sugar

1. Turn on the oven to preheat to 180°C.
2. Beat eggs with sugar until fluffy and white.
3. Add honey (if you have candied honey, melt and cool it before adding it), mix.
4. Sift flour, cocoa, baking soda into the egg and honey mixture, add salt, and mix well.
5. Pour the dough onto a baking sheet covered with parchment and spread it into an even, thin layer. Bake at 180ºC for about 20-25 minutes, check for doneness with a toothpick.
6. Beat sour cream with sugar until fluffy.
7. Cut the cooled cake into several equal parts (I got 4 squares and some scraps for decoration).
8. Cover the cake layers with frosting and put one on top of the other, add the filling between the layers if desired. Cover the whole cake with the remaining frosting.
9. Dry the remaining scraps in the oven and grind them into crumbs.
10. Sprinkle the honey cake with the crumbs. Put the cake in the refrigerator to soak for at least 4 hours.

Enjoy your meal!
