Creamy Honey Cake (traditional in Latvia)



This is a very delicious honey cake filled with cream witch is made from sour cream.

All you will need is:


  • 1 cup of honey
  • 3 eggs
  • 2-3 cups wheat flour
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  •  pinch of salt
  • 800 g sour cream
  • 500 ml fresh cream
  • 1 package vanilla sugar


In a large mixing bowl, beat in the eggs with 1/2 cup of sugar, honey, salt and baking soda. By mixing with a spoon, slowly add the flours. The batter has to be in creamy consistence. Divide the batter into 4 parts. Each part pour into 4 same sized pans witch are lined up with greaseproof paper.
Bake in 200 C for 3-5 minutes ( yes, they're baking fast).

While the cake sheets are cooling, prepare the cream. Place the sour cream into a large mixing bowl add 1/2 from the sugar and vanilla sugar, mix it till it combines.In a other bowl whip the fresh cream. After that  combine the creams together. I suggest to refrigerate the creams for couple of hours to become thicker, so it will be easier to spread on the cake.

Now put the cake together. Take one cake sheet, generously spread on top the sour cream mixture and continue till last sheet. If there's more cream left cover the sides as well. And if there are some cake cut off's (leftovers) crush them and carefully place them around the cake.

Place the cake in the refrigerator and serve it only in the next day!

I am looking forward to read your reviews .
