Ingredients

• 1/2 cup Honey
• 1/2 cup Butter (unsalted)
• 3/4 cup Granulated sugar
• 3 large Eggs
• 1 tsp Baking soda
• 3 1/2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Sour cream (full-fat)
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1/2 cup Powdered sugar
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract

Instructions

1. 1

   In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter, honey, and granulated sugar together, stirring occasionally until smooth and combined. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool slightly.

2. 2

   In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs. Slowly add the eggs to the honey mixture, whisking constantly to avoid scrambling the eggs.

3. 3

   Return the saucepan to the heat and stir in the baking soda. Cook the mixture for about 2 minutes until it becomes frothy and slightly lightens in color. Remove from heat.

4. 4

   Gradually sift and stir the flour into the mixture until it forms a soft, sticky dough. Divide the dough into 6 equally-sized portions, wrap each in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

5. 5

   Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll each portion of dough into a thin circle (about 1/8 inch thick) on a floured surface. Use an 8-inch round template (such as a cake pan or plate) to cut out each circle. Reserve the dough scraps for later use.

6. 6

   Place each dough round onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 6-8 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool.

7. 7

   For the cream filling, beat the sour cream, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and thick.

8. 8

   Assemble the cake by placing one baked layer onto a serving plate. Spread a generous amount of the cream filling evenly over the layer. Repeat with the remaining layers.

9. 9

   Crumble the reserved dough scraps and bake them for 5 minutes until they’re crisp. Crush them and use the crumbs to coat the top and sides of the cake.

10. 10

    Refrigerate the assembled cake for at least 3 hours (preferably overnight) to allow the flavors to meld and the cake to soften.

11. 11

    Before serving, dust the top with additional powdered sugar or honey, if desired. Slice and enjoy!
