1/2 teaspoon of soda;

chocolate bar;

sweets (caramel);

How to make honey cake

First you need to bake a biscuit. To do this, you need to beat the ingredients for the cakes with a mixer: eggs, sugar, flour, honey and butter.

If the honey and butter are hardened, then it should be slightly melted.

Finished biscuit dough with honey should be poured into a round cake mold and sent to a heated cupboard.

Cool the finished cake, cut into cakes 1-1.5 cm high. On the average diameter of the form, usually 3 cakes come out.

We prepare the cream at our discretion. Protein or sour cream will be optimal. To get them, beat the proteins or sour cream with sugar.

We smear the cakes, forming a cake.

How to decorate a honey cake for a child's birthday

Now is a very important moment. Melt the chocolate bar to liquid state(easier in the microwave).

Carefully! You can't boil chocolate. If it boils, it will seize in lumps and sugar. Next, we take a piece of oilcloth with air pimples (they often wrap equipment in stores with it), wash it thoroughly. The length of a piece of such an oilcloth should wrap around the cake. We apply a thin layer of chocolate on it and wrap the pastries so that the side coated with chocolate is adjacent to the biscuit, and the cellophane goes out. On a short time send our baby cake in the refrigerator - the chocolate hardens.

We take out the cake and carefully separate the oilcloth. We get a chic, beautiful wall in the hole.

Fill the top of the cake with caramel and candles (if needed). How I did it can be seen in the photo.

Everything, on this delicious honey children's cake “Basket of sweets” is ready! Both children and adults who came to the birthday party will be delighted. True, when cutting, chocolate breaks, but these are already trifles. Most importantly, very tasty, unusual and beautiful.

Hi all! The other day our son turned one year old and I decided to take over the cake. I wanted something tasty, festive and beautiful.
Relatives persuaded me to make a honey cake, because they love this cake in my performance. Of course, for a children's birthday, I could not make it colorless) Hence the result. So, let's begin.
Take 2 tablespoons of margarine and melt in a water bath.

I bring the margarine to a softened state, but do not completely melt it. It turns out a viscous consistency.
I add 2 tbsp. l. honey and mix it well with margarine.

After the mixture is homogeneous, add 2 eggs and again mix thoroughly.

Here's what happens.

Now add bulk: half a glass of sugar and 2 teaspoons of soda without a slide. Add sugar according to your preferences, I don’t like it very much sweet cake so as not to be cloying in any way. Half a glass just right. I prefer to mix the dough well after each added ingredient so that the whole consistency comes out homogeneous and does not affect the taste in any way.

Now I'm slowly adding flour. In a honey cake, the dough is delicate, so you don’t need to drink 3 glasses at once. First, half a glass was poured out, stirred well with a whisk and another half a glass, etc.

On the third glass, the dough becomes already quite thick and it is already difficult to mix it with a whisk, so I carefully begin to knead the dough with my fingers.

In the end, we get a very dense, thick dough.

Next, you need to put it in the refrigerator to cool for 1-2 hours, so that it is easier to roll it out, but if you have very little time (as in my case), then you can immediately roll it. But I warn you that it’s more difficult to do it right away, the dough is “more capricious”.
Now I'm making cakes. I roll out the dough with a thickness of 2-3 mm. It is very sticky, so I recommend sprinkling the surface with flour.

As a mold for cakes, I use an ordinary flat plate. I apply evenly and cut out a circle.

I place the cake on a baking sheet greased with butter. Usually this dough does not stick very much, so once oiling is enough for the rest of the cakes too.

We place the baking sheet in an oven preheated to 180 degrees and bake for 5-7 minutes until golden brown.

And so with the rest of the test. I get 7-8 cakes. When I want tall cake I'm making a double batch.

Important point! The cakes should be left alone for flat surface and do not immediately lay hot on top of each other, otherwise they can be deformed and the whole cake will “go”.
Now we are preparing the cream. 400 gr. dilute sour cream with half a glass of sugar.

Stir evenly

and add gel food coloring. A few drops of blue.

It turns out a blue tint.

Now plentifully, evenly apply the cream on the cake, Special attention giving the "sides" of the cakes.

When I put the cakes on top of each other, at the same time I cut / break off uneven edges that could be deformed during baking.

Let the cake soak well. If you need it urgently, then you can 3-4 hours and serve it on the table. I leave overnight when possible. Then the cake turns out well soaked and soft.

We decorate. I bought 13 KitKat bars.

and placed them vertically around the entire circumference of the cake. Tied them up with a ribbon.

I also bought a large pack of m&m's with chocolate.

Sprinkle the surface evenly. I spent the whole pack on my cake.

And of course, a candle in the form of a single) I must say that the cake was a great holiday for everyone and a reason to take a picture;)

Happy tea!

Prague cake
1. honey-based cakes are quite dense, so it is advisable to use for layering and decoration soft cream- in butter, condensed milk or sour cream;
2. do not overdo it with honey - if there is too much of it in the cakes, they will turn out to be too dark and elastic and will not soak;
3. if using honey in decoration (for example, in glaze or mastic coating), put it a little less in the cakes;
4. do not forget that honey is very sweet: they are replaced granulated sugar rather than add honey to sugar;
5. cakes before installing decorative elements on them must be covered with a sticky mass - jam, cream (thick), icing;
