New Year’s Honey Cake
Happy New Year’s Eve! I’ll keep this short and sweet since many of us are still busy with friends and family in the midst of the holidays, but I just wanted to wish you a wonderful New Year full of warmth, love and prosperity in 2021! May all your wishes come true! I also have a nice layer cake full of honey and nuts to share with you today. It’s my favorite New Year’s Honey Cake!
12 layers of tender and delicate honey goodness with creamy filling in between, this cake is a perfect finish to your New Year’s menu! The honey adds a rich sweetness and the chopped nuts add a wonderful texture to the cake. Honey pairs so nicely with the sour cream frosting and, yeah, finger dipping worthy for sure! Each cake layer is baked separately to a gentle crisp and is topped with a generous helping of sour cream frosting mixed with sugar. OH and then? You cover the entire cake in well… crumbled cake crumbs. Meaning you do not even have to worry about making your frosting look pretty, you are just going to cover it in more cake. Score!
This New Year’s Honey Cake (Medovik) is an incredible, decadent affair that needs time – time to be baked, time to be assembled, time to rest – and most importantly, time to enjoy!
