Cuisine: Czech
Ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour; 1 teaspoon baking soda; 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon; 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves; 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg; 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened; 1 cup granulated sugar; 2 large eggs; 1/2 cup honey; 1/2 cup sour cream; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; 2 cups walnuts, finely chopped; 1 cup sugar; 1 cup heavy cream; 1/2 cup unsalted butter; 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg until well combined.
In a separate large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Stir in the honey, sour cream, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the filling, combine the walnuts, sugar, heavy cream, butter, and cinnamon in a saucepan.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and reaches a spreadable consistency.
Remove the filling from the heat and let it cool slightly.
To assemble the cake, carefully slice the cooled cake horizontally into three even layers.
Spread a generous amount of the walnut filling between each layer, stacking them on top of each other.
Use the remaining walnut filling to generously frost the top and sides of the cake.
Cut the Medovník Honey Layer Cake into slices and serve with a cup of hot tea or coffee for a truly indulgent experience.
