Ingredients
3 large eggs
150 g granulated sugar
120 g honey
100 g unsalted butter
1 tsp baking soda
400 g all-purpose flour
500 g sour cream
200 ml heavy cream
80 g powdered sugar
Instructions
In a heatproof bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, honey, and butter. Place over a water bath and heat gently until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened.
Stir in baking soda and continue heating until the mixture becomes foamy and light in color.
Remove from heat and gradually mix in flour until a soft dough forms.
Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each into thin layers.
Bake each layer at 180°C (350°F) for 5–7 minutes until golden. Let cool completely.
In a bowl, whip heavy cream with powdered sugar, then fold in sour cream to make the frosting.
Assemble the cake by layering baked sheets with cream between each layer.
Cover the entire cake with remaining cream and refrigerate for several hours or overnight before serving.
Notes
Chill the cake overnight for best flavor and texture.
Trim cake layers evenly for a neat presentation.
Use leftover crumbs to decorate the outside of the cake.
