Honey cake with condensed milk cream

To prepare honey cake with condensed milk cream, preheat the oven to 180C. Prepare 3 sheets of baking paper the size of the baking tray, approximately 35x55 cm. Cut the butter into pieces. Break the eggs into a bowl and whisk with salt.

In a tall saucepan or small saucepan, combine sugar, honey and butter. Heat, stirring until the butter melts and the sugar is completely dissolved.

While constantly stirring the honey mixture, pour in the eggs. Make sure they don't curl. Remove from heat and stir in baking soda. The mixture will begin to foam, as it should. Pour the mixture into a large bowl or blender.

Beat honey mixture at medium-high speed until doubled in volume. When the mixture is lukewarm, reduce the mixer speed and add the flour in two additions.

Place 1/3 of the dough onto each prepared sheet of baking paper. Using a metal pastry spatula, spread into a layer of equal thickness. If necessary, moisten the spatula with water.

Bake the cakes for 8–10 minutes. The surface of the finished cakes will seem soft, but if you lift the dough in a corner, the cake will easily come away from the paper. Place the finished cake on a wire rack or board. Immediately trim the edges around the perimeter.

Remove the paper from the cakes and cut them in half along the long side. This way you will have 6 cakes. You can cut each cake into 3 parts, then there will be 9 cakes, and the cake will be smaller, but tall.

Place the condensed milk in a bowl, add 180 ml of cream and stir until smooth. If you have an immersion blender on hand, use it. Place the mixture in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Whip the remaining cream into a soft foam. Continuing to beat, gradually add the condensed milk and cream mixture. Add salt and beat for another half a minute. Layer the cakes with cream so that the top layer is cream.

Chop the cake scraps and sprinkle over the surface of the cake. Place the cake in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, so that the cakes are properly saturated with cream.
