Description

Medovik Honey Cake Recipe! Layers of soft, honey-infused cake with creamy, slightly tangy filling. Sweet, delicate, and dreamy. Perfect for celebrations!

Ingredients
 

  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup honey If you prefer a less sweet taste, you can use half a cup of honey instead
  • 1 cup coconut oil or unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3 ½ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 2 ½ cups dairy-free sour cream
  • 1 can coconut cream place the cane upside down and store it in the refrigerator
  • 1 cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Whisk the eggs in a bowl and blend well.
  • Melt the butter in a microwave. Add melted butter and honey to the egg mixture.
  • Mix in baking soda. Then, gradually add flour and continue stirring until dough forms.
  • Lightly sprinkle the floor on the surface and knead the dough on it. Then divide the dough into equal portions.
  • Shape each portion into a ball, cover it with a muslin cloth, and roll them into thin layers, similar to tortillas.
  • Trim each layer using a cake ring cutter or a similar tool.
  • Pierce each layer with a fork, then bake for 6-7 minutes or until It's golden.
  • Continue this process with all the layers.
  • Now, don't forget those leftover trimmed dough pieces; bake them as well.
  • After baking, when they're completely cool and firm, grind them to make fine crumbs. (We are gonna use these cake crumbs when assembling)

Now, let's make the cream

  • Grab a bowl and mix dairy-free sour cream and coconut cream. (Only use the cream from the coconut-can; save the coconut water for another use)
  • Add maple syrup and vanilla extract to the cream mixture.
  • Give it a good whisk until it reaches that rich, smooth consistency you’re looking for!

Assembly time

  • Spread a teaspoon of cream on a plate or cake stand. Place the first layer on it to help it stick.
  • Continue layering the cake, spreading about 3 tablespoons of cream on each layer.
  • Use the remaining cream to coat the sides of the cake.
  • Now sprinkle the ground crumbs all over the cake.
  • Refrigerate the cake overnight or for at least 5 hours to set.
  • Once chilled, slice and serve. Enjoy your gluten-free Honey Cake!

Notes

  • This cake gets better with time. So, making it a day early allows the flavors to settle beautifully for a deeper, more indulgent taste!
