Honey cake made from liquid dough 300 grams of margarine. Cake "bee" or lazy honey cake

    Honey cake" Today it has many names: “Ryzhik”, “Honey”, “Bee”, but honey is always present at its core. Perhaps someone will say that they don’t like cakes with honey. Most likely, you simply haven’t eaten a real, light, not at all cloying, delicious dessert with a delicate taste.
    It is not known for certain who was the first to experiment and add honey to the dough, but the cake became widespread thanks to the light hand of Empress Elizabeth. The young cook, not knowing about her dislike for honey, decided to surprise the wife of Alexander 1 and prepared honey cake with custard. Since then, it has become a favorite dessert on festive tables in the royal apartments.
    For cakes, you usually prepare a stiff dough and roll them out into the desired shape, but you can do it much simpler - prepare a liquid dough.

Of course, you don’t need to roll out such cakes, which means it will take less time to prepare. The dough just needs to be poured into the prepared pans and baked. After the cakes are baked, they are cut and coated with cream.

Ingredients:

For the test:

  • Butter (or margarine) – 120g
  • Eggs – 4 pcs.
  • Sugar – 100 g
  • Honey – 3 full tbsp.
  • Soda – 1 tsp.
  • Flour – 2 cups
  • Form for baking
  • Culinary foil

For cream:

  • Butter 160 g
  • 1 can of sweetened condensed milk

Let's start preparing our honey cake:

Step 1

Mix butter (cut into pieces), sugar, honey in one bowl. Place the bowl in the microwave for a minute until the butter and honey melt:

Step 2

Mix the eggs and soda in a second bowl, beat the eggs a little

Step 3

Mix the contents of both bowls and observe the reaction: the mass should lighten a little and foam slightly

Step 4

Gradually begin to add flour with a tablespoon, constantly stirring the dough:

The dough should eventually acquire the consistency of thick sour cream:

Step 5

Prepare the pan for baking the cakes. Wrap its surface with foil so that the matte side of the foil is up. Lubricate the surface of the foil with vegetable oil.

Step 6

Take one foil pan, place it on a metal pan and pour the dough onto it. If the dough does not spread well on the foil, you can help it with your fingers soaked in cold water or a silicone spatula.

Step 7

Bake the cakes until golden brown for 5-7 minutes at a temperature of 180 degrees. While the first cake is baking, pour the dough onto the remaining foil forms so as not to waste time. When the first cake is ready, take it out of the baking pan along with the foil and immediately place the next sheet of foil with dough on the baking pan.

Step 8

We cut each baked cake around the perimeter directly on the foil (you can use a round plate), leaving the cake trimmings for decorating the cake with crumbs. Leave the cakes on the foil until they cool.

Step 9

Prepare the cream: beat the butter and condensed milk with a mixer. To make the butter easily whip, you need to leave it at room temperature for an hour in advance or cut it into small cubes.

Step 10

Place the cake trimmings on a baking sheet so that they dry a little in the oven, put them in the oven for 3-5 minutes, after which it will be easy to crush them into crumbs directly with your fingers.

Step 11

When all the cakes have cooled, we begin to form the cake. Take the first cake layer, turn it upside down and place it on a cake plate:

Step 12

We coat the cake with cream, and put the next cake on it, and so on for all the cakes:

Step 13

Coat the side of the cake with cream:

Step 14

Finally, sprinkle the cake with crumbs.

Bon appetit to you and your guests!

First, turn on the oven at 200°C to warm it up.
Now let's do the test.
To do this, grind melted butter or margarine (chilled, not hot) with sugar and eggs.

Now take a saucepan or ladle. In which we mix honey with soda

and put on the fire to heat, stirring constantly. Heat the mass until the mass becomes a pleasant golden color, as in the photo


This happens very quickly, within one minute. Remove the pan from the heat, cool slightly and add to the creamy egg mixture.
Then, while stirring with a mixer, gradually add one glass of flour at a time. You need to add enough flour so that you get a dough that is a little thicker, like pancakes.


.
Now you need to prepare the baking dish. We need a sliding form. Place baking paper on the bottom, put on the sides of the mold and fasten the clasp, trim off the excess paper in a circle.


To ensure the dough rises evenly, I wrapped the pan in foil. That is, I prepared a sheet of foil the length of the diameter of the mold, placing a layer of kitchen paper napkins in the middle, first soaked in water and squeezed until damp. Bend the foil at the top and bottom and wrap it around the mold, fastening it with a paperclip or simply hiding the ends under the foil, as in the photo




Divide the dough into two parts and bake in two stages. Pour the dough into the mold



And bake in the oven for 20-30 minutes at 180°C (depending on your oven). Checking for readiness with a wooden stick; if you insert the stick into the cake and pull it out and the stick remains dry, then the cake is ready.
Here is our finished cake


Let the finished cake stand in the mold for about 5 minutes, then take a spatula or knife and run it along the edge of the side as in the photo


Then put the cake on a wire rack and cool, also bake the second half of the dough



Divide each cake into 3 parts


Cut the slightly cooled cakes in half lengthwise. If you cut them hot, the dough will stick together; if you cut them cold, the dough will begin to crumble.

Using a plate, cut out the desired diameter of the cake, crush the scraps and leave them to sprinkle on the cake. Or when dividing the cake into parts, take one cake and cut it thinner for sprinkling. I didn’t do this because I baked it in a very small pan with a diameter of 16 cm, but two (and I already had the crumbs frozen from last time).

Now let's prepare the cream:
For the cream, beat the cream with vanilla sugar and cream thickener to soft peaks with a mixer, then add sour cream and boiled condensed milk (unfortunately, this time I only had simple condensed milk) and beat to stiff peaks.


Coat the cakes with this cream. I make it in a ring and let it harden for 4-5 hours, remove the ring and sprinkle with crumbs.
