Everyone loves simple recipes, but when the result is above expectations — it’s always great. It turned out I had a honey cake. Believe me, once you try the first piece — doubt on the part of the cake will disappear.
Ingredients:
Cake:
Butter — 250 gr.
Honey — 220 gr.
Eggs — 4 pcs.
Nuts — 150g.
Flour — 150 g.
Baking powder — 1 tsp
For the glaze:
Dark chocolate — 100 gr.
Cream 33% — 200 ml.
Butter — 1 tsp
Preparation:
1. softened butter (room temperature), good whip with a mixer, more oxygen. Weight should be a little bleach and increase in volume.
2. To add a lot of whipped honey. I used lime as the most neutral taste. Now I can say, if you are an amateur or grechichnogo flower — easy to add them.
3. All is well mixed and again and enter one egg. After each egg dough should be well stirred until uniform. Actually because we introduce eggs steps — or to get a homogeneous mass will be quite difficult.
4. grind nuts in a blender. The size of the crumbs and nuts grade choose themselves — it is a fantasy.
5. In the finished dough adding the dry ingredients — baking powder, flour and the nuts themselves. Good mix.
6. If you have a sectional shape — here’s the secret of easy taking out the cakes. Fold the parchment several times diagonally (remember as a child we cut snowflakes) and measure the distance from the center of the bottom edge.
7. Collect shape and pour the batter. It is quite thick, so smooth out the surface. Bake at 160 degrees for 30-40 minutes. Takeoff give this because it all depends on the height of the oven and test the form. Korzh should spring back and toothpick comes out dry.
8. Give the finished Korzh cool in the form, and then remove. I decorated it with chocolate frosting and berries, but there is already a place for your imagination. The glaze is prepared very simply pour a cup of cream, butter and add the broken chocolate well. Next all or heat it in a water bath or in a microwave oven at 20 second pulses (heated, taken out and mixed, heated again). Until complete dissolution of all ingredients.
Cake turns out very tender and, by the way, if you wait a night — in the morning it will be even tastier. Korzh get a very gentle and rather crumbly. He juicy, no impregnation, cream or berries inside he does not need, is another of the advantages of such simple but effective recipe. The taste of honey is not playing some solos, so do not be afraid of what you are doing ONLY honey cake.
