Honey cake "Angara"
The recipe is almost classic - choux pastry and sour cream. Ingredients:
- 150 g of butter;
- 2 eggs;
- 1 cup of sugar;
- 2 cups of flour;
- 2 tablespoons of honey;
- 1 teaspoon baking soda.
In cream:
- 400 g fatty sour cream;
- 1 cup of sugar;
- Pinch of vanillin.
Preparation:This is a recipe for choux pastry. Take a saucepan of a suitable size, put butter (can be replaced with margarine), honey and granulated sugar in it. Put the saucepan on the fire and begin to heat the mixture until it boils, stirring constantly. At the very beginning of boiling, add baking soda and quickly stir the mass, which will immediately begin to bubble and hiss - this is the effect of soda slaked with honey. Counting to ten, boil the mass until it turns into foam, and then remove the saucepan from the fire. Let this mixture cool, and then, one by one, add raw eggs, mixing well each time. After the eggs, add flour to the dough and knead everything again until a homogeneous viscous state. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Cover the baking sheet with baking paper. Now spread half of the dough on the baking sheet, forming an even thin layer. Bake the cake for ten to fifteen minutes, then remove it from the baking sheet and cut it in half - you will get two cakes. Bake the cake from the remaining dough in the same way, which we also divide into two parts. Leave the cakes to cool, and in the meantime make the cream for our honey cake. For this, we use only very fat sour cream. So, put the sour cream in a saucepan, add granulated sugar and beat first at low speed of the mixer, and then continue beating at high speed. You need to beat it long enough for the sugar to completely dissolve in the sour cream, and the cream itself becomes fluffy. Now stack the cooled cakes and cut them, aligning the edges. Chop the trimmings into crumbs, which we then use for sprinkling. Now assemble the cakes, generously greasing them with sour cream. We also coat the edges and top with whipped sour cream, and then bread them with crumbs obtained from the cake trimmings. Let the finished cake sit in a warm place so that the cakes are properly soaked with cream. Serve our honey cake chilled.

- 1 cup of honey;
- 350 g of sour cream;
- 5 eggs;
- 1 teaspoon of soda;
- Pinch of vanillin;
- 130 g of granulated sugar;
- 2 cups of flour;

For decoration:
- 4 egg whites;

Preparation:Take the butter, eggs and sour cream for the dough out of the refrigerator in advance to warm them up to room temperature. After that, mix the sifted flour with soda, pour into a bowl and add the butter, then grind everything into crumbs. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with granulated sugar until the sugar is completely dissolved. Then add the honey and lightly beat this mixture again. Then put the sour cream there and beat the mass again until smooth. Then combine this mixture with the flour crumbs, mix well and put in the refrigerator for an hour. In the meantime, turn on the oven and let it heat up to 200 degrees. When the dough has cooled, start baking the cakes for the honey cake. Pour a few spoons of dough into a greased form to get an even thin pancake layer. Bake the cake for five to seven minutes until it turns golden. Bake the remaining dough layers in the same way - there should be ten to twelve of them. Leave the finished layers to cool, and at the same time beat the sugar with sour cream, making a regular sour cream cream. Stack the cooled layers, generously spreading them with sour cream cream. Decorate our honey cake with protein cream. To do this, beat the cooled egg whites with citric acid until stiff, and then add sugar in small portions, continuing to beat the cream. This is how you can make a honey cake with sour cream cream in different ways. So choose a recipe and cook with pleasure. Bon appetit and success in the culinary field!
