The most delicious recipe for honey cake.

My children just love sweets. What else do they need for happiness, if there is a sweet table. The answer is clear - nothing! They are happy if we do not buy sweets, but do it ourselves. At the same time, one should not detract from their active participation in the preparation process: whip something in a mixer, mix in a blender, separate the yolks, if necessary, etc. All this is quite within their power. Children are happy to provide all possible assistance in creating a delicious masterpiece, while trying all sorts of semi-finished products. Interestingly and tasty is the preparation of honey cake, its decoration and, of course, its eating. Let's talk about how to make a honey cake yourself.

The recipe for honey cake offered by me can be varied by fantasizing with ornaments made from mastic, while receiving my own work of art.

Let's start making honey cake with the purchase of the necessary ingredients. First, you need to determine the stages of work, i.e. To plan how to make a honey cake and what is needed for this in addition to desire and time. Our recipe for honey cake consists of three components: you need to make cakes, cream and mastic, and then beautifully arrange everything.

Preparation we begin with a cake. It is clear, if the recipe for honey cake, then our cakes will be honey. First beat the eggs (3pcs) with granulated sugar (150g.). This process is easily performed by children. During the whipping process, it is necessary to gradually introduce butter (150 grams) and honey (150 grams). At this stage, your help will be needed, but as soon as you add everything you need, the children can again independently continue the whipping process. And you at this time need to get rid of soda, at your request, or lemon juice, or vinegar (1.5 tsp) and add it to the mix. After waiting a few more minutes, until everything is mixed up. We finish the whipping process, and send the resulting mixture to the water bath until a uniform golden hue (about 20 minutes). In the process of cooking it must be stirred periodically. Follow the mixture, you can also children, and you at this time, take care of the cream.

Separate three egg whites and mix them with granulated sugar (200 grams). The resulting mixture must also be sent to a water bath. We will keep it on the stove only until all the sugar has dissolved. And at this time, beat the butter (250 grams). The mixture for the cream after the sand has dissolved, is removed from the plate and set for cooling. By this time, and the mixture for the cakes already have to get a golden color. Remove it from the plate, we mix vanillin and flour (3 tbsp.), And cool it. It is necessary to put it in the refrigerator for about half an hour.

Let's go back to preparing the cream. Proteins with sugar should be cooled by this time, so start whipping them, gradually adding whipped butter to the spoon. As soon as all the oil is in a uniformly whipped mixture, you can set the cream aside for a while.

Let's move on to preparing the mastic. We will need chewing marmalade (150 gr.). Put it in the container, add sl. Oil (1.5 tbsp.) And water (2 tbsp.). Send the mixture for half a minute in a microwave to allow a little to melt the candy. We mix the powdered sugar (2 tablespoons) into the mixture, kneading it until it thickens. Spread the powder on the table (1.5 tablespoons) and put a mixture on it. Mix the dough from the mastic and powder. As soon as it becomes soft as plasticine and begins to stick to your hands, divide the "dough" into four equal pieces. To each of the parts we add our own color of food coloring and mix it for uniform coloring. We will decompose these multi-colored pieces on bags, tightly wrap them and put them in the refrigerator for half an hour.

The dough for the cakes can already be obtained from the refrigerator and turn on the oven for warm-up. We divide the total mass into 6 parts and roll each cake. On the rolling pin, we transfer the cake to the prepared baking sheet (sprinkled with flour) and send it to the preheated oven for 5 minutes. Repeat the procedure with each cork. Lay them on top of each other and trim the edges.

We take the cooked cream and pat them all the cakes. We put it on top and on each side of our cake and accurately level. We send the cake to the refrigerator to freeze the cream and get the mastic.

Spread one of its colors on the table with powder and roll it into a circle. The diameter of the circle should be 5 cm larger than the diameter of the cake, and a thickness of at least 3 mm. We get our cake and transfer the layer of mastic to it, covering evenly the top and sides of the cake. Lightly squeeze the mastic in the shape of the cake, and cut off the excess. The rest of the multi-colored mastic goes to the execution of the decoration elements. Here everything depends on your imagination. You can make leaves, flowers, fungi or beasts.

It seems to me that the proposed recipe for honey cake is not only not complicated, but it also allows you to quickly create your sweet and beautiful masterpiece.
