      I wasnt aware how much these biscuits spread, they sprrad a lot but still very deliicious.

  • Honey layer cake (Medovik)

    • DeborahG on October 26, 2023

      The cake layers are delicious and easy to make - quite a zen process. The filling however is awful. A traditional Russian / Ukrainian honey layer cake has a sour cream filling. By substituting a Dulce de Leche cream filling, the entire balance of the cake is destroyed, and rendered so sweet as to be inedible. Even my husband with a sweet tooth (and whose favourite cake IS a honey layer cake) didn’t enjoy it. Next time, I’d use the same recipe for the cake but make half the number of layers (7 would be quite enough, rather than the 14 which the recipe produced) and use a sour cream filling. Something more like the one in Mamushka, which I’m assuming is an authentic recipe.

Publishers Text

First, Cream the Butter and Sugar is your new best friend in the kitchen. Whether you’re here for The Only Choc Chip Cookie Recipe You’ll Ever Need, or you’re setting your sights on conquering an Opera Cake, Emelia Jackson has done the homework on behalf of us all. For those who love a homemade cake but don’t love sifting flour (is it really necessary?), and enjoy a shortcut (do the eggs really have to be room temp?), Emelia breaks down the steps that truly matter and dispenses with those that don’t. Packed with advice for every level of home baker, this is the modern baking reassurance you need the night before the birthday party or just because you’d like something sweet on a Monday afternoon.
