Custard honey cake

This option is one of the most high-calorie ones. But, at the same time, this is the best honey cake for serving, for example, for a birthday. This dessert looks the most presentable and luxurious. Guests will not be able to resist a pleasant, sweet custard.

Dough

  1. Stir with a whisk until a homogeneous mass of 250 g of sugar, 2-3 eggs, 2 tablespoons of liquid honey and 50-55 g of butter.
  2. Now put the pot with the contents on a slow fire and stir the mass with a spoon or whisk until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  3. Without turning off the heat, add 2 teaspoons of soda to an already hot mixture to increase the size of the dough.
  4. It is necessary to mix, keeping on fire, another 1-5 minutes.
  5. Then remove the dough from the stove and gradually add to it the already sifted flour (550 g).
  6. Knead the dough with your hands until it stops sticking.
  7. Then divide the mass into 7-8 parts, cover each piece with plastic wrap and refrigerate for an hour.

Cream with a delicate texture is prepared separately:

  1. Combine 2 eggs and 1 bag of vanilla sugar, mix. Add to the mixture 50-55 g flour and 150-200 g sugar.
  2. Then put on a small fire and stir until thickened.
  3. Then remove from the stove and combine the hot mass with butter (100 g).
  4. Cover the cream with cling film or paper and wait 10-20 minutes until it cools slightly.

The calorie content of honey with custard is high precisely because of the large amount of sugar in the filling, so if you want to eat dessert with a low energy value, choose the first cooking option.

  2. In turn, bake cakes 3-4 minutes at 180 degrees.
  3. The ends of the cooled cake should be cut and greased with custard, then form a cake.
  4. Cuttings from cakes can be chopped and sprinkled with honey.
  5. Put the finished dessert for a couple of hours in the refrigerator for soaking cakes.
