Honey Cake

Ingredients:

For the Cake Layers:

• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 tablespoon white vinegar
• 1 cup honey

For the Filling:

• 2 cups sour cream
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup powdered sugar

For Decoration (optional):

• Chopped nuts or grated chocolate

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Cake Layers:

   • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
   • Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
   • In a small bowl, mix the baking soda and vinegar (it will bubble). Add this to the batter and mix.
   • Gradually add the flour to the batter, mixing until well combined.
   • Finally, add the honey and mix until the dough comes together.
   • Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and flatten into a disc.
   • Place the discs on parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

2. Bake the Cake Layers:

   • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Roll out each disc into a thin circle and transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
   • Bake each layer for about 7-10 minutes or until golden brown. Repeat for all layers.
   • Allow the layers to cool completely.

3. Prepare the Filling:

   • In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
   • In a separate bowl, mix the sour cream and powdered sugar until well combined.
   • Gently fold the whipped cream into the sour cream mixture until smooth.

4. Assemble the Cake:

   • Place one cake layer on a serving platter. Spread a thin layer of the filling evenly over the cake.
   • Continue layering cake and filling until you use all the layers, finishing with a layer of cream on top.
   • Use the remaining cream to frost the sides of the cake.
   • Optionally, decorate the cake with chopped nuts or grated chocolate.

5. Chill and Serve:

   • Refrigerate the cake for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
   • Slice and serve chilled.
