As for the required products, you will need:
And to prepare the cake, prepare:
As you can see, all products are completely simple and certainly available to everyone. Usually, such a set of ingredients can be found in every kitchen.
If there is only thick honey in your reserves, it is desirable to warm it up a bit before preparing the cake. To do this, simply place the jar with the bee product in hot water.
Step 1.So, first of all, it is necessary to beat eggs thoroughly, adding sugar to them, to the consistency of a firm, voluminous white froth. By the way, it is best to process this mass right in the container in which you plan to brew the dough for the future cake. Add soft or melted butter, liquid honey and soda. By the way, it is not necessary to extinguish it.
Step 2.Now it's time to build a water bath: fill a large pan with plain water, even flowing, bring it to a boil, and on top place the container with the prepared mixture. And while the honey mass will languish on the stove, do not forget to constantly stir it. Cook the dough until it increases in volume and does not darken. Having reached the necessary result, remove the mixture from the bath and let it cool slightly.
Step 3.Carefully sift the prepared flour and about a third of it is poured into the brewed mass. Add it in small portions in order to knead a homogeneous dough, without any clots and lumps. Competently prepared mass has a liquid consistency, pleasant honey aroma and rich taste.
Step 4.Pour the rest of the flour on the work surface and form from it a kind of hill, in the top of which you need to do a small groove. After the dough is a little thick, send it to the prepared structure. Now gently knead the base for the cakes by hand - it should turn out to be rather soft and elastic.
Dilute the hand-dough into 8-9 pieces, each of which must be rolled into a ball. In this form, send the preforms in the cold, before covering them with polyethylene or a towel.
Step 5.After the dough has cooled down well, you can start rolling out the future biscuits. From one ball you will have a layer. Pellets can be shaped as soon as they are rolled or after baking. But in that, and in another case, do not rush to throw away the scraps - they are sure to be useful to you for preparing a ready-made "Medovika" with sour cream.
Step 6.Lubricate the baking sheet with a piece of butter and cover with parchment. Here, shift the rolled flat cakes and send them to bake at 180 degrees. Just a few minutes will be enough to make the biscuits and get the right texture.
If you have not cut the tortillas at the stage of theirrolling, do this immediately after removing the products from the oven. After all, after the cakes have cooled, they will crumble too much and break. And chop the cuttings in a mortar, with a rolling pin or a kitchen hammer.
Step 7. Here everything is extremely easy and simple.For the manufacture of sour cream it is enough simply to beat a mixture of prepared foods. In other words, combine sour cream and sugar in a deep container, after which intensively work the mass with a mixer at maximum speed.
Try not to add allsugar: divide it into several small portions. As a rule, to obtain a lush, airy texture, it is necessary to whip the mass for about 8-10 minutes. To speed up the process, you can use a blender. If you use a simple corolla, most likely, you will need a little more time to process the cream.
But be that as it may, do not neglect this manipulation. Otherwise, your "Medovik" with sour cream will not turn out so fluffy, gentle and soft.
Step 8.After the baked biscuits cool down, and the impregnation reaches the desired consistency, you can start assembling the cake. On the serving dish, put first the smallest flat cake. To give the cake juiciness, you can use additional impregnation in the form of a favorite juice, syrup or wine. Then generously, without regretting sour cream, lubricate the lower cake. Thus, alternate the layers until the products run out. Just leave a little cream to cover the sides and top of the dessert.
