For the test you will need:
- 3 eggs;
- 200 grams of sugar;
- 3 glasses of flour;
- 1 heaped tablespoon of honey;
- 1 small spoon of soda.
For cream:
- 2 packs of sour cream (total 500 ml);
- a pinch of vanillin;
- a glass of granulated sugar.
Since the dough needs to be cooked in a water bath, it is important to mix all the ingredients in a saucepan or in a thermal bowl.
Step 1. Beat 3 eggs into a saucepan and add granulated sugar. Beat everything with a whisk or mixer, but not too much, the main thing is that the white and yolk are mixed.
Step 2. Add honey to the egg mixture and place the pan in a water bath. To do this, you need to pour water into another large saucepan, bring it to a boil, and place a saucepan with the egg-honey mixture on top. Stir the mixture with a spoon until the honey and sugar disappear.
Step 3. Then add baking soda and stir constantly. The volume of the mass should double.
Step 4. Then quickly add flour in handfuls and knead the dough until it falls.
Step 5. Divide the finished dough into 9 parts, 8 of them are cake layers, and 9 are crumb cakes.
Step 6.Roll out each ball of dough into a layer; the thickness can be any, but not too thin, otherwise the cakes will turn out dry.
Step 7. Bake the cakes in a round pan.
Step 8. Next, let's move on to the cream. Mix sugar and sour cream in a bowl, then beat until fluffy.
Step 9. Coat each cooled cake with cream.
Step 10. Stack everything.
Step 11. Turn the ninth cake into crumbs (just knead with your fingers).
Step 12. Sprinkle the finished cake over the sides and top. Let the cake soak, this takes about 4-6 hours, depending on the amount of cream and the thickness of the cakes. Then we feel free to treat our loved ones to this simple but delicious cake. By the way, you can sprinkle the top with chocolate chips or decorate with fruit.
