How to make a honey cake with condensed milk according to a step-by-step recipe with photos

When I think about making a cake, the first thing that comes to my mind is a honey cake with condensed milk. After all, nothing compares to these delicate honey cakes and the indescribably delicious and ordinary condensed milk cream.

My grandmother bakes exactly this cake when I come to visit her, and this little masterpiece takes me back to my childhood every time.

Honey cake with boiled condensed milk cream

Ingredients

Flour	250 g
Sugar	90 g
Testicles	1 PC.
Butter	310 g
Honey	2 tbsp. l.
Soda	10 g
Vanilla sugar	10 g
Boiled condensed milk	400 g
Lemon zest	25 g

How to choose the right ingredients

Flour plays an important role in the preparation of this dish, so when making cakes, be sure to take only the highest grade flour and proven brands.
You can make the cream for a honey cake with condensed milk from ready-made boiled condensed milk, or you can take regular milk and cook it the old fashioned way, which will only make your cake better.
When choosing honey for cakes, pay attention to whether it is fresh or not. Honey is a product that does not have an expiration date, but it tends to become sugary and harden. Because the fresher your honey, the better and easier it will be for you to cook.

Manufacturing sequence

Cooking shortcakes

Break the egg into a bowl and add sugar there. Grind until light.
Then place a small saucepan or saucepan on the stove over low heat. Put 60 g of butter there and melt. Add honey and soda. Thanks to it, our mass will noticeably increase in volume.
Stir constantly and cook until the mixture turns caramel color.
Remove the saucepan from the stove and wait until it cools down a little. Next, add the egg mixture and vanilla sugar, mix well with a whisk.
Add flour and knead the dough, it should not be very wet, and leave for 1 hour in a warm place.
Turn on the oven at 200 degrees.

Preparing the cream

Place the butter in a deep bowl and beat it with a mixer until fluffy.
Add condensed milk and lemon zest evenly to the butter and mix everything well with a mixer.

Forming the cake

We coat any shortcake perfectly with cream and carefully place it on top of each other. We also spread the sides and top of the cake with cream so that the cake is not visible.
Decorate and leave to soak overnight (that is, at night) in the refrigerator.

Manufacturing sequence

Cooking shortcakes

Place 120 g of butter, honey, sugar in one pan and place on the stove over low heat.
While the butter is melting, break 3 eggs into a bowl and lightly beat with a whisk.
When the butter has melted, we begin to pour the eggs into it evenly, but do not forget to stir constantly so that they do not curl. Cook this entire mixture over low heat for 5-7 minutes until a snow-white foam forms.
Then add soda and leave for another minute. Our mixture will increase in volume thanks to the soda.
Remove the mixture from the heat and add flour to it. Knead the dough, divide it into eight equal pieces and leave to rest for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 200 degrees
Then we take our dough and roll out eight equal cake layers. You can create them evenly by cutting off any excess using a pan lid and a knife.
Next, cover a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the shortcakes on it one by one. Bake any shortbread for 3-4 minutes. Remove and let cool.

Preparing the cream

Place the milk in a saucepan on the stove to heat, but do not bring to a boil.
Meanwhile, beat the eggs with starch. And when the milk is warmed up, pour it into the egg mixture and beat again.
Put it all on the stove and cook over low heat for 5-6 minutes until thickened, stirring constantly.
Transfer the mixture into a deep bowl, add honey and condensed milk and mix.
Add very softened butter and beat again.
At the very end, add rich sour cream and mix without whisking.

Forming the cake

We coat any cake well with cream and carefully place it on top of each other.
We also spread the edges and top cake with cream and sprinkle with crumbs from the remaining cakes.

We leave the cake overnight (that is, in the dark) for soaking.

I advise you to prepare a delicious cream for the honey cake and carefully study the preparation of the traditional recipe for the honey cake.

How to decorate

The question of decoration constantly appears before us already in the process of finishing cooking. And every time we rack our brains on how to create something more beautiful so that our loved ones and friends will appreciate our efforts and skills as they should.

In fact, everything is simple, if we have nuts, we crush them and sprinkle them on our wonderful cake. If you have chocolate, melt it in a water bath and pour it over the honey cake. Or, easier than usual, we take scraps of our cakes, crumble them and sprinkle the cake with the crumbs given to us. But if you are a culinary wizard, then make buttercream and use a pastry bag to plant different flowers on the sides of the cake.

Your imagination may not end there, give it free rein and decorate your own masterpiece as your heart desires.

Tips and advice

Fundamentally, if you cook condensed milk yourself, then you will have to set aside quite a lot of time to obtain the appropriate thickness of the cream. It is necessary to lower the can of condensed milk into a deep pan of water and cook for at least 2 hours.

Step-by-step recipe with photos

I rarely spoil my family with “Honey Cake” because I don’t like rolling out shortcakes, but from time to time inspiration arises and I cook them. One of our favorite options is “Medovik” with boiled condensed milk. Naturally, such a cake is a real paradise for those with a sweet tooth, because it turns out quite sweet. Well, that’s what a cake is for, to be sweet. After all, we don’t eat cake every day, but from time to time we can treat ourselves, right?! In general, let's make a “Honey cake” with boiled condensed milk!

Cut the butter into several pieces and place in a bowl, add sugar and honey.

Place the mixture in a water bath, stirring with a spoon or whisk until the entire mass becomes homogeneous. Add soda to the mass given to us, and stirring, cook for another minute.

Remove the bowl of dough from the water bath and let cool until slightly warm. After this, break the eggs into a bowl one at a time and beat well until the mass is homogeneous.

Sift flour into the dough in parts, mix well. When it becomes difficult to mix with a spoon, continue kneading with your hands.

This is how the dough comes out.

Divide the dough into 9 parts. Naturally, you can do more, depending on the diameter of your cake.

I have a small size on the backing - 22 cm, so I stuck to it. Cut a square out of parchment and roll out one piece of dough using a rolling pin. Cut the circle according to the template.

Remove excess dough and carefully prick the crust with a fork. Using the same principle, roll out all the shortcakes. I advise you to immediately roll out at least half of the cakes, because they bake quickly and it is necessary that they are already ready for baking.

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees and bake any shortbread for 4-5 minutes. Also collect the scraps of dough together, roll them out arbitrarily and bake them at the very end; they will be useful for sprinkling the “Honey cake”. Place all baked shortcakes in a stack on parchment.

For sprinkling, break a random shortbread into pieces and place it in a blender. It seemed to me that this would not be enough crumbs, so I broke another shortbread and added a handful of walnuts. Grind all the pieces into crumbs.

Quench the baking soda with lemon juice and add to the mixture. Add flour in several additions, carefully kneading each portion. The dough will resemble thick sour cream.
Bake the shortcakes. Divide the dough mixture into 6 parts. Grease the bottom of the springform pan. Pour one part of the batch. Place in the oven, preheated to 180 o C. After 10 minutes, the base is ready. Bake all the shortcakes.
While the cake base is cooling, beat the cream from soft butter and condensed milk.

Homemade “Honey cake” with sour cream and condensed milk

Tender, moderately sweet, superbly savory homemade honey cake. If I had to choose, I would bet on him.

Take for shortcakes:

Honey – 3 huge spoons.
Flour – 3-4 cups.
Butter – 100 gr.
Testicles – 2 pcs.
Soda - a small spoon.

For sour cream from condensed milk:

Sour cream – 125 ml.
Condensed milk is a regular can.

Break the eggs into a bowl and scramble them with a fork.

Pour sugar into a separate deep bowl, add butter and honey. Remove the butter from the refrigerator in advance and let it melt a little.

Place the bowl with the listed products in a water bath. To do this, pour hot water into a saucepan and place the bowl as in the photo. Heat over high heat. Soon the butter will begin to rapidly melt and the candied honey will dissolve. Stir the mixture until smooth using a spoon.

Then use the mixer until the mixture is completely mixed (the main thing is to separate the sweet sand crystals).

Add baking soda.

Fold in the beaten eggs. Run the mixer vigorously again.

Add a couple of glasses of flour and continue kneading.

When the lumps disappear, add the next portion of flour, and so on until the product is complete. First, mix with a mixer.

Then, when the dough becomes the stiffest, move to the table, dusting it with flour. Gather the mass into a lump and knead it well with your hands. Roll into a long sausage, as in the photo. Cut the dough into 1 size pieces, dividing by the number of cakes. In total you should get 10-12 balls.

Roll out any ball into a narrow flat cake. Then cut out cake blanks of similar diameter. Take a flat plate as a guide.

Place baking paper on a baking sheet, lay out the crust, and place the dough scraps nearby - we will need them for the crumbs. Bake in an oven heated to 200 o C. Baking time for the cakes is 5-7 minutes.

In front of you is a ready-made shortbread. At first it will be soft, then it will harden evenly. Prepare all the base layers for the cake in the same way.

Prepare the cream by mixing condensed milk with sour cream. Beat it vigorously with a mixer.

Assemble the cake by placing the cakes one on top of the other and generously coating with sour cream and condensed milk.

Remember when we baked dough scraps along with the shortbreads? Crush them using any method, generously sprinkle the top of the honey cake, and decorate the sides of the cake if desired.

Place the finished Honey Cake on the refrigerator shelf for approximately 5-6 hours.

After this time, you can cut the cake and start eating.

I invite you to get acquainted if you don’t understand yet. There are very noteworthy options for your favorite cake.

Honey cake with condensed milk

Honey cake with condensed milk is similar to the beloved “Honey cake” by almost everyone, although it has some significant differences. The recipe I offer for making honey sweets should be tried by any gourmet, believe me, there will be no disappointment. The cake needs to be soaked properly, then it just melts in your mouth.

Ingredients

Manufacturing stages

Beat eggs with sugar.

Add honey, butter and soda (do not quench with vinegar).

Mix everything well and put in a water bath until the mass doubles. While doing this, stir vigorously.

Then sift half the flour and leave the dough to rest. Leave for 20 minutes until the dough has cooled to room temperature.

When the dough has rested, add the remaining flour little by little and knead the dough. It must be elastic and not stick to your hands. It’s better to dump the flour evenly and see how much the dough takes in.

We begin to roll out the shortcakes. Sprinkle the table with flour and, pinching off a piece of dough, roll out the cake to approximately 5 mm wide. Place in the oven for 2-3 minutes.

We cut the finished shortcakes according to the template.

Preparing the cream for our honey cake

Mix sour cream (550 g), honey and boiled condensed milk.

Divide the cream into two parts. One large part is for greasing the cakes, the other is for decoration.

In 50 grams of the remaining sour cream, soak the gelatin for 15 minutes. When it swells, put it on gas and keep it until completely dissolved. (!) Do not boil.

Let the gelatin cool slightly and pour it in a narrow stream into the smallest part of the cream, stirring vigorously. Cool until slightly frozen.

Grease the cakes with cream, grease the top cake of the honey cake with cream and gelatin and sprinkle the sides with crushed remains from cutting the cakes.

We leave the honey cake with condensed milk overnight (that is, in the dark) so that it can soak in.
