HONEY CAKE honey cake recipe

Today I will share with you my mom's Honey Cake recipe. It's a very popular and traditional Russian cake. It is so delicious it melts in your mouth and has a delightful sweet aftertaste. I remember growing up in Siberia we almost always had this cake for special occasions, New Year's Eve, birthday parties, etc. The tradition to celebrate with family a homemade dinner has deep roots in my culture. Those moments have a special place in my heart and I've decided to make my favorite Honey Cake using my mom's recipe.

If you're on a diet or cutting down carbs and fats from your food, you should stop reading now. It's not one of those carefully calculated healthy desserts. This recipe asks for good old butter, plenty of sugar and regular flour. As a result, it probably has 20000 calories but who is counting? You definitely won't eat this every day but that's what special occasions are for!

Ingredients:

 

For the layers:
150g (3.5 oz) butter
1 cup of sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp baking soda with a slide
2 tbsp honey
4.5 cups flour

For cream:
500g (17 oz) sour cream
1 can (400 g) cooked condensed milkhoney cake recipe

Instructions:

1. Melt butter with sugar and honey.
2. Add the whipped eggs whisk and let it warm up for 2-3 minutes. DO NOT let it boil.
3. Add the baking soda and continue to heat the mixture. The mass should increase in volume.
4. Add the flour in parts and knead the dough.

5. Put the mass to the mat and divide it into 10 pieces.

6. Roll cakes and pork it with a fork in multiple places to prevent it from bubbling. Bake in the oven on average 4-5 minutes each.
7. Take a cap from the pot (the size in diameter that you want your cake to be) and while it still hot cut circles from the cakes. Put it aside and let cool down

8. Keep the leftovers from sides. Crush them in a blender for later decoration.


9. Whisk the condensed milk and sour cream together.
10. Put the cream between the layers. The biggest secret is never cheap with cream. Put it so generously that it drips down, this way the cake will be very juicy and soft
11. Finally, sprinkle leftovers from the cakes all over your honey cake. Decorate with berries or chocolate.
12. Then leave it in a fridge overnight or at least for 4 hours. It allows the cream to soak and makes your Honey Cake juicy and delicious.

Bon appetite!

Painting my heart away 😅 since we moved to this Painting my heart away 😅 since we moved to this house a year ago, it's been a journey, and tons of paint involved.

I wish I could say I love painting walls. I don't. I love a fabulous transformations though. So the pain is validated. 

Considering I'm a single mom of two kids and  a dog (that is heavier than my both kids combined and quite a handful), I'd say I'll need another 2 years to paint all the rooms as I planned. 

What's your estimate?

If anyone needs a reminder - you are still here af If anyone needs a reminder - you are still here after all the sh*t you had to go through, and it's worth celebrating! I'm proud of you! 

So often we look at people through social media, admiring them, admiring their life, without realizing what is actually going on behind the scenes. 

Last few years has been an emotional rollercoaster for me. After being in an abusive relationship for years, being constantly gaslighted  that made me question my sanity, I thought I was going crazy. I've found the truth. Truth can set you free. I wasn't the crazy one after all. I just didn't trust my gut and chose to ignore it while it was screaming at me that I'm being played. 

It taught me a lesson. I didn't know I was going to go through something like this, and oh my, I had very low scary points during all that. But now I have awareness. And the biggest lesson I've learnt is to trust my gut.

You are strong! You can get through whatever life (or some assholes throw at you) 😘 in case you didn't hear it from anyone today 😊

It's definitely has been a journey. Journey of sel It's definitely has been a journey. Journey of self discovery, healing childhood trauma, learning how to let go. 

The hardest part was to live in a fantasy world. Where I felt for years that something was off but my every concern was met with me being called crazy. 

I wasn't crazy after all. And truth can set you free. 
I'm in a happy place now. 

Finally. 

I remember who I am.
