Ingredients

• Prepare a pot with hot water for water bath.
• For 5-6 layers (I doubled for 10 layer cake)
• Ingredients:
• 2 tablespoon honey
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 stick butter + 1 tablespoon
• 2 eggs
• 3- 3.5 cups flour
• Cream #1 for 10 layers:
• 3 1/2 cups sour cream
• 1 cup sugar (add more if you like it sweeter)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• Cream #2:
• 1 can condensed milk
• 3 sticks butter (softened at room temp.)

Directions

• Directions for the cake:
• Heat oven to 375 degrees
• In a mixing bowl (that can be placed on top of a water bath)Combine sugar and eggs with a whisk.
• Add honey and place the mixing bowl over the water bath. Mix until all the sugar is dissolved.
• Add butter and 1 tablespoon of flour.Mix well.
• Remove the mixing bowl with honey mixture from the water bath and add baking soda and flour gradually mixing it well. Start with 3 cups of flour and add more if needed.(remember it will thicken as the dough cools down). Divide the dough it to 6 equal balls. You can let it cool down for a little or you can start rolling.
• Sprinkle flour on the surface where you will roll the dough.
• Roll the dough very thin.( sprinkle with flour in between when you flip the dough to other side,so it doesnt stick to the surface)
• Transfer to an upside down cookie sheet(well floured or greased)
• and bake 3-4 minutes or until it will nice and golden in colour( be careful,It can burn fast)
• As soon as you take it out from the oven place a round dinner plate (upside down) and cut out the circle leaving the edges for later use on the topping.
• Repeat with the rest of the layers.
• Combine eggs,sugar and honey
• Mix on top of water bat (double boiler) until sugar is dissolved
• Add butter and 1 tablespoon of flour
• Add the rest of the flour
• Cream #1: Beat sour cream,sugar and vanilla with a mixer for about 4-5 minutes.
• Cream #2:
• Beat butter for 1 minute. Slowly add condensed milk while still beating.
• leave 1(or two if the recipe is doubled)layer for the topping
• Add Generous amount of cream to each layer: 2 layers sour cream,1 condensed milk cream and so on.
• Add cream to the top and sides of the cake.
• Crumble the leftover pieces and layers of the cake.( I use mini blender for this)
• Add the crumbs to the top and sides of the cake. For best results leave in a fridge for 12 hours.Enjoy!!!
