Cooking dough
Honey cake in a pan (the recipe with a photo is presented in the article) is prepared in several stages. First, prepare the dough. For this, a mixture of honey, oil and sugar is mixed and brought to full uniformity. To do this, it is necessary to heat the mixture on a stove in a saucepan over low heat so that nothing sticks to the bottom. You can also warm the mixture in the microwave. At the same time, it must be stirred every 30 seconds. Do not bring the mass to a boil. It is enough to completely melt the butter and honey, especially if it is candied.
The resulting syrup should be poured into a container for kneading, add soda to it, and then mix thoroughly with a whisk, so that the soda is distributed by weight as evenly as possible. In this case, the syrup should lighten and slightly increase in volume, which is a consequence of the reaction of honey with soda. Due to this reaction, honey cakes become airy and lush. Cool the syrup slightly.
Then sour cream is added to the mass (fat content is not essential) and eggs according to the recipe. Stir until smooth. After that, flour is introduced in portions, which is pre-sieved.
Next, the dough for honey cakes is kneaded. First you can help yourself with a whisk, and after the dough reaches a sufficient density, the housewives recommend using a wooden spoon. You can knead with just your hands. As a result, the dough is soft and slightly sticky.
Next, flour is generously sprinkled on the table, and dough is laid out on top. Roll it from all sides in flour, form a thick “sausage” and divide it into 8 parts. Thoroughly roll each piece of dough in flour and put on a wide dish. From above they should be covered with a film. This must be done in order to avoid the appearance of a crust. Cool the dough for 1-2 hours, as a result of which it is slightly condensed.
Cooking sour cream
Cake in the pan "Honey" with sour cream, according to reviews, is very tasty. Sour cream for honey is a classic option. It can be cooked while the dough is cooling.
In a large bowl, combine all the necessary ingredients for the cream. A honey cake in a pan is prepared with a cream of sour cream, sugar, vanilla sugar and lemon zest (to taste).
Cream sour cream is better to use with a fat content of 30%. You can use a 20 percent, but in this case it is necessary to add a thickener to the cream, or soak the sour cream suspended in gauze for several hours in order to get rid of excess serum.
Whip the cream slightly with a whisk to dissolve the sugar. The finished cream is sent to the refrigerator.
We form cakes
After the dough has cooled, proceed to the formation of cakes. The pieces are rolled into flat cakes (the thickness of the dough should be about 3 mm). It is necessary that the size of the cakes is slightly smaller than the size of the pan on which the cakes will be baked. For 8 cakes, use a frying pan with a diameter of 26 cm, for a smaller dough should be divided into a larger number of parts.
Making cakes
The pan with a thickened bottom should be heated on the stove and put the cake into it. Sometimes, the hostesses divide, it is impossible to transfer the cake to the pan gently, and it is deformed. In this case, correct blemishes with your hands.
Cakes are fried on each side for about 3 minutes. This time is enough to make it brown and the top layer of dough to become dull. Using a long flat spatula, the honey cake is turned on the other side and fried for another 1 minute.
Finished cake should be cut to 20-22 cm in diameter, and trim carefully assembled. All other cakes are fried in the same way, after which they must be cooled.
Cooking sprinkling
While the cakes are cooling, trimmings should be dried in a pan over low heat. At the same time, they should be mixed as often as possible to avoid burning. After drying the scraps, they are removed from the pan and cooled. With the help of a combine, they are turned into crumbs, which at the end will be sprinkled with cake.
Making a cake
At this point, a baked honey cake should be collected. On chilled cakes spread about 3-4 tbsp. l cream, which is distributed on the surface. Cakes stack on top of each other. The sides and top of the cake should be slightly trimmed and decorated with crumbs.
