In the culinary departments of shops where they are soldcakes, the products made on the basis of honey cakes are widely represented - and this is not surprising, because a multilayered cake impregnated with a gentle cream is a favorite taste of childhood.
Honestly, I did not make this cake very muchmany years, and recently stumbled upon a fairly yellowed leaf, written by my mother's handwriting (we used to make cakes on this recipe), and I decided - why not bake it now? And she did not regret! Let it is not so intricately decorated with me, like the honey cake "Bee", which some masters do, but if you simply sprinkle it with crumbs of scraps of the same cakes or nuts, you will get no less appetizing!
Да, сделать заварное тесто и выпечь более 3х cake - the occupation is a little laborious, but you do not need to be frightened - there is nothing complicated! But please your own home-baked, not bought cake.
I can tell you how to bake a cake "Medovik".For the test, we will need: white wheat flour - about 4.5 cups (we will not add all at once), 3 eggs, slightly less than a packet of butter or margarine (180 grams), 2 tablespoons of honey, ¾ cup of sugar, 1 teaspoon of soda and a little salt.
How to make dough?
Как я уже сказала, тесто для медовика не простое - it is done in a water bath. To do this, we will prepare 2 containers (pots) - one larger, the other smaller. All products should be ready, as there will be no time to hesitate with the brew test. In a large saucepan pour half of the water, and while it is heated, in a separate bowl, whisk a little whisk egg and just a moment to put aside, and put the honey, oil, sugar and salt in a smaller saucepan. Put this saucepan on a boiling water bath and, stirring intensely with a wooden spoon or spatula, bring the mixture to a homogeneous state.
Next, without removing the "bath", pour into this mixturewhipped eggs, quickly mix everything and pour a teaspoon of soda. When the whole mass increases 1.5-2 times, add 1.5 cups of flour. All the time we are intensively interfering!
As soon as the dough thickened, it became sticky,remove the top saucepan from the steam, put 3 cups of flour on the table, put our warm brewed dough on it and mix it. It should eventually turn out to be a soft, fatty bun.
All the resulting dough is divided into 6 parts androll them on the diameter of a small plate (the thickness of the cake is not more than 0.5 cm). I will notice that many manage to divide the dough into 8 parts, and roll out the thin cakes, but the oil dough is rather fragile, and I manage to do only 6.
Bakes are baked in the oven at 180 degrees veryquickly, not more than 5 minutes each, and the thinner you roll, the faster you will be baked - it's enough to keep the intensively golden color, not longer, so that your creation does not turn into tasty crackers as a result.
To soak cake "Medovik" very well sourcream. To do this, take 1.5 cups not liquid, but not too thick sour cream and beat it well with a half glass of sugar (but you can take a little less sugar). If the cakes are not overdried, then immediately densely spread them with cream and add one to the other, and if suddenly they did not notice, and some cake turned out to be too dry, I recommend that it be sprinkled with honey water a little so that it absorbs the cream afterwards.
When all the cakes are laid, equalize the uneven edgesknife, and chop the crumb, and this will be our breading for the cake. In layers with a cream it is possible to add the crushed walnuts, and also to strew them with sides and a top of a cake. To make the cake become very soft and literally melted in the mouth, it should be given several hours for impregnation, it is not necessary to put it in the cold at once, let it sit at room temperature for an hour (but not in the heat, otherwise the cream will float). And it's best to cook "Medovik" cake from the evening, put it in the refrigerator at night, and eat in a pleasant company the very next day!
Enjoy your tea party!
