    • 150 grams sugar
    • 2 tablespoons honey
    • 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
    • 2 glasses smetana (or Greek yoghurt)
    • 1 glass caster sugar
    • 2 teaspoons vanilla sugar
    • 2 glasses flour

    Instructions

        Remove from the heat. Mix in the flour.

      • Divide the batter into about 5 even pieces. Roll them into a cirle, using a plate to trim. Roll up over the rolling pin and place over the tray .

      • Bake each layers (200 c) until golden crust - about 4-5 minutes each. Cool them down. Bake the trimmings and finely chop them .

      • Make the frosting:
        Mix well smetana with sugar and vanilla sugar. The sugar should completely incorporate. Generously spread the cream over each layer, put them on top of each other, slightly pressing. Spread the cream all over the cake and powder with chopped trimmings.

      • Put the cake into the fridge and let it stand for a few hours or over night for the layers to absorb the frosting and soften. Be confident, It is well worth the wait!
        Enjoy!
