Russian Honey Cake (Medovik)
Medovik is a Russian Honey Cake which consists of several layers of a honey flavored sponge cake with a sour cream filling, decorated with breadcrumbs and topped with fresh berries. The cake’s main ingredient is honey which gives it an amazing flavor.
To make this cake, I start with a dough which I divide into 8 pieces. I roll each piece out flat and cut them into perfect circles. Bake in the oven. Use the scraps of dough to make breadcrumbs and save them for decorating. Make a filling from cream, powdered sugar and sour cream. I use this filling to sandwich the layers together and to frost the cake. Then I dust the outside with breadcrumbs and top the cake with fresh strawberries before serving. Yum!
