Sour Cream 20 oz
Activated Baking Soda 1 tablespoon
Sugar 5 oz

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1

Place softened butter, sugar, and honey into a bowl.

Step 2

Place the bowl over a water bath and heat while stirring until the sugar is slightly dissolved and the mixture becomes a uniform color. Add the baking soda and keep it over the water bath for another minute.

Step 3

Remove the bowl from the water bath, add the eggs, and quickly stir until smooth.

Step 4

Sift in the flour and mix thoroughly. Place the bowl of dough in the refrigerator for half an hour.

Step 5

Dust the board with flour and divide the dough into 9 pieces (also dust your hands with flour).

Step 6

On the reverse side of the baking sheet (or on parchment paper), roll out each ball as thinly as possible. Place a plate on top and cut around it to create a circle. Prick the dough with a fork.

Step 7

Bake the cake layer at 390°F for 5 minutes. Trim the edges and immediately remove the hot cake layer from the baking tray.

Step 8

Bake all the layers in this way.

Step 9

Place the scraps from the cake layers in a separate bowl.

Step 10

For the cream, use the thickest sour cream available. Whip it with an electric mixer along with sugar. Continue whipping until the sugar is completely dissolved.

Step 11

Place the first layer on a serving dish. Evenly spread 2–3 tablespoons of sour cream frosting on top. Optionally, add nuts or prunes. Cover with the second layer and repeat this process for the entire cake. Reserve a couple of tablespoons of frosting for coating the sides of the cake. Do not frost the last layer; gently shape the cake with your hands. You can place a small weight on top.

Step 12

Crumble the cake scraps by hand into crumbs or grind them in a blender.

Step 13

Finally, cover the top and sides of the cake with cream. Crumble the leftover cake and sprinkle it all over the cake. Place the cake in the refrigerator to let it soak for a couple of hours.
