Into this mass we introduce flour in small parts. Knead the dough with a spoon, because hands in this case are inconvenient to act.
Honey cake is obtained from dense viscous dough. It should be divided into ten shares, each of them carefully rolled out. For this purpose, a work surface should be sprinkled with flour.
From layers of dough rolled out in flour, round cakes of the same size should be cut. To do this, you can use a medium-sized plate.
Roll out the dough quickly, because it loses its plasticity and becomes more rigid. The scraps obtained after cutting the cakes do not need to be thrown away.
Korzhiki and trim should be placed in the oven, preheated to two hundred degrees.
Bake for no more than five minutes, then remove from oven.
Rub the scraps into large crumbs, you can do it with your hands.
Next, prepare the cream. To do this, mix a glass of sugar and sour cream. They should be whipped with a mixer in order to make the cream more magnificent.
We form the cake itself. On a flat plate we have the most even cake, it serves as the base for the whole cake. Grease it with cream. We repeat the procedure - we place the next cake, lubricate it, the next one, etc.
We mix half the crumbs and a tablespoon of cream, with this mixture we coat the cake with barrels.
Grind the other part of the crumbs and pour on top of the pie.
We put the resulting cake in the refrigerator for at least five hours. Then you can use it.
