Jam Layered Honey Cake
Description
The cake begins with a honey sponge made by whisking whole eggs with sugar until voluminous, then combining honey and a baking soda-lemon juice mixture that helps leaven the batter. Flour is gently folded in to preserve airiness. The batter divides between two 9-inch pans and bakes until just set, producing a soft but structured sponge.
Once cooled, each cake is sliced horizontally into two layers, which are spread with tart jam to introduce bright acidity and balanced sweetness. The cream combines softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and very cold whipping cream, whipped to a smooth, firm texture suitable for spreading and frosting.
The assembled layers create a light, moist honey cake punctuated by creamy, tangy, and fruity elements. This dessert suits special occasions or gatherings where a refined layered cake is desired.
Ingredients
Honey Sponge Cake
- 6 egg
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup honey
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 1/2 cup flour
Cake Cream
- 16 oz jam any tart jam
- 16 oz cream cheese softened
- 2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 cup whipping cream very cold
Instructions
Honey Sponge Cake
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Beat the eggs with the sugar until it triples in volume.
- Add the honey and beat again to combine.
- In a small dish, combine the lemon juice with the baking soda. Add the baking soda mixture to the egg mixture and fold to combine.
- Use a spatula and fold in the flour in thirds. Be very gentle with the batter, so you don't over mix it and lose the fluffiness.
- Divide the cake batter between two 9-inch cake pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Use a toothpick to check for doneness. When the inserted toothpick comes out clean with no wet batter, the cake is done.
- Allow to slightly cool, then slice each cake into two layers and spread some jam on one side of each layer.
Jam Layered Honey Cake Cream
- To prepare the cake cream, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar.
- Beat until the mixture is smooth and has no lumps. Add the whipping cream and beat until the cream is firm.
Assembling Jam Layered Honey Cake
- Apply cream to the cake between each layer.
- Apply the remaining cream on the outside of the cake.
- Decorate the cake as you wish. I cut a thin slice from one layer of the cake and turned it into crumbs, which later used to decorate the sides of the cake.
- It's best to serve the cake after it sits overnight soaking with the cream.
