What is a honey cake (medovik)?
Medovik is a classic Eastern European layered cake. It is made of many thin honey layers stacked with a soft cream. The layers settle together and turn tender, so the cake is soft and melts as you eat it.
It is less sweet than most American cakes, which is why many people who find frosted cakes too sugary enjoy it.
Which honey cakes does Blushy Bakery make?
The classic honey cake, and a raspberry honey cake with a bright raspberry note. Most classic cakes here are 10-inch cakes, made to order.
If you like the honey-and-cocoa idea, ask about the Spartak. For flaky layers with cream, ask about the Napoleon. Our guide to classic Eastern European cakes explains each one.
How is honey cake served and stored?
As general guidance, layered cakes with a soft cream are usually kept cold, served in clean slices, and left out for a short while before eating.
Honey cake also tends to taste even better the next day, because the layers keep softening. Ask us when you pick up, and we will tell you how we suggest keeping yours.
Can honey cake be part of a party or dessert table?
Yes. A honey cake works well as the centrepiece of a dessert table, with Italian macarons, cream horns and dessert cups around it. For a big gathering, tell us your guest count and we suggest a mix.
It also suits a birthday or family dinner when you want something lighter than a heavily frosted cake.
