Note

the cake is made according to the recipe of my friend from LJ-accountant sophia!
what can I tell you - a wonderful cake! no words! bake. please see for yourself. that no honey cake can match this!

very appetizing cut, I love this color in cakes, I will definitely try one of these days

[Natalusik]

Natalusik, in "life" it is even more appetizing! highly recommend!

Natasha, hello. Here I baked a honey cake according to the recipe, I used natural honey (buckwheat), everything was according to the recipe, but the cakes did not turn out to be such a rich honey color

and I really love honey cake ... please help me.

for many it turns out to be much darker than mine! maybe there was a little not a steam bath or you need to bake harder in the oven !?

I tried to bake one cake longer. maybe I really didn't cook a lot on a steam bath. Well, I still taste super chef next time longer on the steam bath.

Still a lot depends on honey !!! good luck !!!

yes it is really a special honey cake. sorry photo with a cut has not survived. I got the right color. eggs were really homemade. The yolk was very very carotene .. I have a cut from another site where it is not copied. yes Natasha? Or how can I copy it?

if from the cook step by step. you can't copy it!

Natasha on a steam bath how much to cook (in time)? natural honey, your own.

I didn’t timed the time ...need to. so that the sugar is completely dissolved. just be careful. so that the eggs are not boiled !!!

I found a photo, baked in May for a friend-

[natapit]

natapit, I saw this recipe two days ago. I liked the beautiful color of the cakes and the phrase "what can I tell you - a wonderful cake! No words! Bake. Please yourself and see that no honey cake can compare with this!" ...

Now the report:

The dough turned out to be watery, but you cannot spread it with a brush. Smeared with a small silicone spatula. The first cake was baked with a ring from the mold, and the rest without it (the dough did not spread). So I used two baking sheets: I bake one cake and smear the other. It turned out 9 not very thin cakes. If done thin, then I think 12-13 pieces would work.

When I made the cream, it seemed not enough for 9 cakes. Then I added another 50 g of sugar and 300 g of sour cream. When I looked at the ingredients for the cake, I realized that it would turn out to be a giant cake, like a wedding. I had to do two - one huge, and the second normal. I have already put them in the refrigerator, and tomorrow we will try. Then I will report on the taste.

[Qween!]

Qween!! the culinary specialist wrote on the website, I will write to you too - a lot depends on the products, apparently they are different with us! I always indicate the amount of products that I use myself, as well as the size of the form! You see the photo of the cake, I can't add anything else! if you want, I will drop in a personal link to my page, this cake was baked by many and there are photo reports, yes, someone had a tighter dough, did not smear, someone did not succeed. but for such an amount to come out of these ingredients this is the FIRST time !!! I borrowed the recipe from Sophia's accountant, I think. what does it say about something !!!

Yes, I myself was surprised that so many cakes turned out! Well this is what a lafa turned out! I always bake a cake and take half of it to my parents (they live with us in the same city), but here it turned out to be a lot of cake. Dad was nearby on business, so he already took one cake and we still have a whole one left (the one that is bigger, but I want to treat my friend).
I called my mother to the dogon and asked her to wait until tomorrow, while she was soaked, this is not Napoleon. I like the honey cake to melt in my mouth, and it was not clear where the cream is and where the dough is.

I would look with interest at the page with reports about this cake.

I borrowed the recipe from Sophia's accountant, I think. what does it say about something !!!

I apologize for my ignorance ... I don't know the accountant Sophia.

PS: we definitely have different products, since you have an unrealistically beautiful color of the cakes, I didn’t work like that. I think (mostly) depends on honey. I don’t know what honey I have, it’s very light, fine-grained, not thick. What kind of honey are you putting?

Natasha, got a reference, looked at the photos of the girls in the subject. I also look at huge cakes, but the truth is 9 cakes is a record.
All the same, of all the photos, yours is the most beautiful, simply gorgeous.

There are step-by-step photos, then, of course, my dough came out thicker, and not so yellow. I took eggs from the store, there are no bright yolks there.

As I understand it, Natasha, what is possible on "you"?

PS: And now I know about Sophia.

This cake is very tasty!
For the first time I tried it in Germany - there was some kind of holiday organized by our women's council, women from home brought their goodies - and I remembered this particular cake, and even somewhere there are records with the recipe.
And the second time - in Ivano-Frankivsk; but where exactly - I do not remember.
I myself will not dare to do it - a steam bath, 12 hours in the refrigerator, etc. - no, not for me.

[natapit]

natapit , thank you, the cake is delicious, we're already finishing it!
I photographed almost the whole cake, only a piece was cut off. I quickly threw the photos on the computer, and now I can't find them point-blank. I just had to take another photo, but only the remaining piece:

[Qween]

Qween, really looking forward to an answer! glad I liked the cake !!!

and I baked again, only in a water bath I cooked a little longer, and the cakes of the same color turned out! thanks for the recipe !!!

uraaa !!! great! well done for not giving up, I'm the same !!!

and I was so happy! oooooochen I love honey cake!

I put the dough yesterday, baked it today, and there is almost nothing left ...
The dough did not turn out golden brown - my honey is light, acacia-floral; eggs are ordinary, with a light yolk. The dough itself is not liquid, I smeared it on paper with a silicone spatula. It turned out 5 cakes, it was possible and 6 - the first cake could be thinner.
I missed it with whipped cream and chopped walnuts - they love me so much!

Good day! I want to try baking this cake. Tell me how many minutes to cook in a steam bath (I really need it in minutes). And another question - I will need to cut this cake in the shape of a one, cover it with butter cream and mastic. Is it suitable for these purposes? Or is it too tender and you have to look for another recipe?

keep on a steam bath until the sugar is completely dissolved, in minutes I did not notice! about the design, I think it will stand! good luck!

Time is 0 hours 30 minutes, and I wipe the keyboard (while I was reading, I was drooling) Now I know exactly what kind of cake my family will most likely eat. Wait with the report ....

Natasha, she used to bake a similar cake very often, in my "cookbook" he lives under the name "Winnie the Pooh": 80 gr. butter + 2 tbsp. l. honey + 1 tbsp. sand + 2 tbsp. l. vodka (!) +3 eggs + 2 tsp. soda (slaked in vinegar!) + flour 2 - 2.5 tbsp. Also for a couple. The dough is "bulky", very soft, thick. Divided into equal parts. It is baked with "pancakes" immediately (without a refrigerator) very quickly: while you roll the lump onto the trail. "Damn" the first is already ready. "Pancake" can be made even on a blank (say, a lid from a saucepan), or you can bake it by rolling out each part, and ready to cut, the edges - into crumbs for sprinkling the cake. It always turns out (!) A delicate cake with honey flavor. Nobody will recognize sour cream. We do it the day before!

many thanks! I will definitely try according to your recipe!

You won't believe it! I just recently thought that I should ask the girls if we have a recipe for a honey cake, where the cakes are not sand cakes, but ... others, like in a store weighed out. I'm waiting for a reason and bake right away! Wait for me!

I thought, somehow, all this is so simple that everyone knows .... Try girls, you will not regret!

[Dr. Lena]

Well, these are fundamentally different recipes !!!Dr. Lena right one hundred percent I have been carrying out her recipe for 28 years only under the name "Miracle", but 2 tablespoons of honey and a glass of honey are supposed to have different colors and tastes ..! Soda in honey cakes is extinguished by the honey itself and the heating temperature. I assumed that he is also Special due to the fact that a glass of honey will give a bright, pronounced taste. Then, according to the technological processes of professional confectioners, the dough kept for a long time in a cold place radically changes its qualities for the better. Yes, the recipe for Miracle or Winnie the Pooh is simple and fast execution (also much cheaper), but maybe that's why they are not SPECIAL? ......

Good morning I baked it. excellent for molding. But the cakes themselves probably did not work out for me - they are not as airy as in the photo. the color is darker. I kept it on the steam bath for 7-9 minutes, thanks to Button for the tip. And it turned out very sweet. Honey is really strong.
Here is a photo. even on it you can see that it didn’t work .. the cake turned out to be tiny.

well done! these are the cakes for the pleasure of eating. thanks to the author for the recipe.

[mIRCa]

mIRCathe taste, of course, is for you to define but krasivoooooo ....... !!!!

[mIRCa]

mIRCathe taste, of course, is for you to define but krasivoooooo ....... !!!!

Thank you. the taste will be determined by the children - I made a SpongeBob out of it (for DR son). And for children, the sweeter the better :)
I am accountable for the eaten cake. In the pizzeria, I treated them to the girls who served our table, asked for a phone number to order cakes. ... They said that it was VERY tasty, really HONEY cake, only a bit sweet. Next time I will make the cream without sugar at all and it will be normal. The cake stood and it became really tasty! THANK YOU!!!

Thank you very much for the recipe! Delicious! For our taste - just in moderation.
Everything turned out exactly like in the author's photo. Honestly
I really liked my husband and unexpected guests who stopped by on business during the day.

thanks to you, too! I am very glad that the cake turned out and I liked it!

[natapit]

natapit , I also made the dough this morning. I need a cake for December 2 for the evening, so I'm thinking of making it today or better tomorrow. Or bake cakes today and grease with cream tomorrow?

better tomorrow!

[natapit]

natapit , but will go to this cake of yours apple custard? I want sour ...

no, this cake is not! only the cream that is given in the recipe!

okay, persuaded ...

and I did it as an author. and already probably 8 times like the author))))) and it is not sweet at all. I don't like sweets. he is honeyooo. airy gentle not heavy. in general really special. author respect and respect

better tomorrow!

So I did. Now, here's another thing I thought, but you can make a cake not of a round shape, but for example with a heart (draw a contour on paper and spread-spread the dough on it)?

And what can replace heavy cream? It is very problematic to get them from us. Is it possible, for example, less fatty and a little thickener for cream, or will it be "wrong"?

[Domovenok]

Domovenok, we also have a problem with cream price 1l = the price of a normal cake (1kg). Having bought a new mixer, sour cream from the store began to whip, increasing almost 2 times and does not fall off. I make a very similar cake with this cream. natapit, I understand that cream tastes more creamy with cream, and sour cream is a sour milk product ... I wonder then what is closer to your cream taste: low-fat cream + thickener or fat. sour cream ?

[Story]

Story Just about, we also have it .. but the price is 40-50 UAH per 1 liter ... rip-off. I just thought, if instead of cream you take homemade yogurt, maybe it will also be nice, what do you think? (even if it is less fatty, but very dense and creamy to taste) And I have a very good mixer, I am happy with it like a pig, thanks for the advice, I will have to try whipping sour cream with it

You can put the store sour cream (20-25%) on cheesecloth for 2-3 hours and then beat, just take a little more than according to the recipe. We have cream at this price too

I did so. I drained the sour cream 20% and beat it, adding a little yogurt (there is one that is not liquid). super tasty.
