Ingredients

Scale

Cake Batter

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup honey
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Topping

  • 1 cup crushed walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a round cake pan to ensure the cake doesn’t stick.
  2. Beat Eggs and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the 6 large eggs together with 1 cup of sugar until the mixture becomes light, fluffy, and pale in color, which helps create a soft texture.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in 1 cup honey, 1 cup sour cream, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract into the beaten eggs and sugar, mixing thoroughly to combine all wet ingredients.
  4. Sift Dry Ingredients: Sift together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and a pinch of salt to ensure even distribution and prevent lumps.
  5. Combine Dry and Wet Mixtures: Gradually fold the sifted dry ingredients into the wet mixture carefully to maintain the airy texture.
  6. Melt and Add Butter: Melt 1/2 cup butter and gently fold it into the batter, adding richness and moisture to the cake.
  7. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool and Slice: Allow the cake to cool completely. Once cooled, slice the cake horizontally into thin layers.
  9. Assemble Layers: Spread a mixture of honey and sour cream between each cake layer to create a sweet and tangy filling.
  10. Add Toppings and Chill: Sprinkle crushed walnuts on the top and sides of the assembled cake for added crunch and flavor. Chill the cake in the refrigerator for 2 hours before serving to allow flavors to meld.

Notes

  • For a nut-free version, omit the crushed walnuts.
  • You can replace sour cream with Greek yogurt for a lighter filling.
  • Ensure eggs are at room temperature for better mixing and texture.
  • To enhance honey flavor, use a floral variety like wildflower or clover honey.
  • Store the cake covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
