Russian Honey Cake

This traditional Russian Honey Cake, known as Medovik, features thin, honey-infused cake layers sandwiched with a creamy filling and topped with a sprinkle of dates and peanuts. The delicate honey-flavored layers soften as they absorb the cream, creating a melt-in-your-mouth texture that's both light and rich. While requiring some patience to prepare, this impressive dessert rewards with its complex flavor profile that balances sweetness with subtle notes of caramel and honey. Perfect for special occasions, this cake improves with time as the flavors meld together.
