Delicious Russian cake I served it with some cherry tea and vanilla icecream.
Too little sugar, you need atleast 2 cups depending on the size of the cake, I made it with a cup and a half.
Quality food on this website I'm super happy with how everything turned out and will be making a lot more.
I tried the Russian honey cake before this and it's a lot more flavorful.
Nicely put together everything goes well it's for sure not your average storebought tasting cake.

Easy and tasty dessert I baked it for my nieces birthday and it was a winner for sure! everyone was pleased.
Finally! none-boxed cake, homemade is always better than boxed batter and made with much more love :)
Powedered sugar is tasty for sure but I think vanilla frosting or yogurt slapped on the top would've tasted far better than a spoon full of powder.

Well done! Thanks for sharing!
