Ingredients 

Cake Layers

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ½ cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted
  • 3 eggs large

Cream Filling

  • 2 cups sour cream
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the honey and melted butter to the egg mixture, and whisk until combined.
  4. Gradually add the flour and baking soda, mixing until a dough forms.
  5. Divide the dough into 8 equal parts. Roll each part into a thin circle.
  6. Bake each circle on the prepared baking sheet for about 5 minutes or until golden brown.
  7. For the cream filling, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. In another bowl, mix the sour cream and powdered sugar until smooth.
  8. Fold the whipped cream into the sour cream mixture until well combined.
  9. Assemble the cake by spreading the cream filling between each layer of baked dough. Cover the top and sides with the remaining cream.
  10. Refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
