Russian Honey Cake Medovik Recipe

Russian Honey Cake Medovik Recipe

I have a recipe from Russia for you today. Okay, I know it looks intimidating and complicated. However it's actually super simple to make, especially if you apply the tips I'm about to give you.

First of all, I would suggest you to make the cream filling one day before assembling the cake. The cream filling needs to be whisked a lot until it thickens, so it requires a little manpower. Also, sitting in the fridge for one night really helps it reach the right, easy-to-work consistency.

Secondly, do not leave your kitchen while baking the biscuit layers. Don't forget that the baking time (4 mins) I'm giving in the recipe might only work for my oven. If your oven is small, the baking time might even reduce to 2 mins. You might even want to consider decreasing the baking temperature, if needed. So keep an eye and determine the right time and temperature yourself, by using some judgement.

It's not a difficult recipe at all, but some patience is definitely needed. I guarantee, the result will be worth all the effort and waiting.
