Has anyone ever made Medovik--Ukrainian Honey Cake
Sooz
This is another recipe I want to make. I had it in a Ukrainian restaurant recently and gosh, it was good! It had 8 layers--photo below and click the link for the recipe! Recipe for Medovik
It has to be made 24 hours ahead of time.
I was wondering how to get the "cookie" layers to be more flat--in addition to docking the dough, I don't want the layers to bake up wavy.
Also, do you think it will freeze well, considering the whipped cream/sour cream, powdered sugar that's between the soft "cookie" layers? Input appreciated!
Smiles,
Sooz

Oh my goodness that looks so yummy! I love honey anything - think I was highly influenced by Winnie The Pooh @ an early age = J
I don't think the waviness is a cause for concern because as it softens from the moisture of the filling, won't it flatten out...?
sooz, that looks just flat out amazing, I think I'd like it a lot. I do think that freezing with the filling already in the layers might result in a soggy cake, because the moisture would soften the layers both while waiting for it to freeze and again while thawing the finished product. However, I think the layers would freeze just fine on their own, to be filled later.
Of course, the only way to find out is to do it. (grin) Darn, don't you hate those experiments that you have to eat? :-)

Oh Carol, thanks for the grin! Yes, I think Winnie The Pooh would thoroughly enjoy this cake!
Annie, I took that photo before we (me, DH, and his BFF) dug into it at the restaurant... Oh yeah, I just find it soooooo difficult to eat those experiments! (NOT!)
Thanks for the input! I figure I'll make the layers on Tuesday, fill on Wednesday, and tuck into it on Thursday. It's supposed to be good for at least 4 days when it's all finished...or else, it never lasted past that 4th day because it was gone into people's tummies!
