Honey Cake



All your friends will ask you for the recipe for this scrumptious cake and here it is.


Cream:
250g butter
1 can of caramel or evaporated milk

Sprinkle:
100g chopped or grinned walnuts

For decoration:
14 - 15 pcs of walnuts

Spread:
3 tb sp rum
5 tb sp strong filtered coffee

Dough:
250g plain flour
1 egg
1 tb sp soda
30g butter
2 tb sp honey
100g icing sugar

Warm Butter, egg, sugar and honey in water bath. Add sieved flour and soda while mixing. Mix the ingredients together and make a dough. Leave to rest.

On floured surface we separate dough into 5 same sized pieces. Roll these thinly and cut to fit the cake baking tin. From the cut offs we make up sixth piece so we will have 6 thin slices in the end. We move these slices onto a baking paper. Bake on reverse side of the baking tray in preheated oven on 180 C 4-5 minutes.

For cream we will use the softened butter which we'll mix in electric mixed until white. We add boiled evaporated milk or caramel. If you are using evaporated milk then you'll need to boil it day before for 2 hours inside the can.
Once cool we'll spread each slice with black coffee and rum. Then we'll spread it with cream. Once all slices are spread and connected we'll spread the sides of the honey cake. Sprinkle the cake with walnuts including sides. We'll decorated the cake with walnut halves and we can sprinkle the middle of the cake with chocolate shavings or grated chocolate. Put some weight on top of the cake and leave in cool space to rest for 24 hrs. Once rested you can serve.
