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.
Cup of Yum
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.
