9 steps
  1. 01

    Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line baking trays or prepare sheets of baking paper.

  2. 02

    Warm the honey, white sugar, and unsalted butter together over low heat until melted and smooth.

  3. 03

    Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the baking soda. The mixture should foam and lighten slightly.

  4. 04

    Let the mixture cool briefly, then whisk in the eggs until smooth.

  5. 05

    Add the all-purpose flour and mix until a soft dough forms.

  6. 06

    Divide the dough into several equal pieces. Roll each piece thinly into a round and bake at 180°C (350°F) until lightly golden. Cool the layers completely.

  7. 07

    Whisk together the sour cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.

  8. 08

    Stack the cake layers, spreading the cream between each one and over the top and sides.

  9. 09

    Chill the cake for several hours so the layers soften and the filling settles before slicing.
