Honey cake classic - tips and tricks
• You can use oil creams for honey cake, but they do not soak the cakes well. But it is easy to fix, it is enough to soak them with sweet syrup. It is great for the honey cake to be impregnated with brewed and chilled coffee, but do not forget to fill it with sugar.
• How many cakes are made from dough? In fact, there is no clear rule. But the thinner they are, the faster they get soaked. But from thick cakes you can make a delicious and aromatic cake, but it will have to be greased with thicker layers of cream.
• Cut the honey need only a sharp knife. Otherwise, the cakes will be crooked, and the cake uneven.
• The more cream on the crust, the softer and juicier the cake will be. But what to do with sour cream, which is often liquid and drains? You can add a special thickener for creams or gum. Also add a little loose gelatin. And if there is nothing at all, put a little crushed cake scraps into the liquid cream. But do not overdo it. They will soften, the mass will become a little thicker.
