👨🍳 作り方
- 1
Prepare a bain-marie by filling a medium saucepan with water and bringing it to a simmer. In a large bowl, combine softened butter, powdered sugar, egg, liquid honey, and heavy cream. Place the bowl over the simmering water and whisk until the mixture is creamy and white, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
💡 プロのコツ: Ensure the water in the saucepan does not touch the bottom of the bowl. - 2
In a separate large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, cocoa powder, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and allspice. Gradually add the warm honey mixture to the dry ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
💡 プロのコツ: The dough should be soft but not sticky. - 3
Divide the dough into 5 equal portions. Flatten each portion into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.

Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Line baking sheets with parchment paper. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each dough disc very thinly (about 2-3 mm thick) into a circle or rectangle. Trim edges to create neat layers.
💡 プロのコツ: Work with one dough disc at a time, keeping the others chilled. - 5
Bake the dough layers for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly golden. Watch carefully as they bake quickly. Let them cool completely on a wire rack.
💡 プロのコツ: If layers puff up, you can gently press them down while still warm. - 6
Prepare the buttercream filling: Cream the icing sugar with softened butter until light and fluffy. Gradually add the vanilla pudding, mixing until well combined and thick.
💡 プロのコツ: Ensure the pudding is at room temperature to avoid curdling the butter. - 7
Assemble the cake: Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of jam, followed by a generous amount of the buttercream filling. Repeat with the remaining cake layers, ending with a final layer of buttercream.
💡 プロのコツ: Use a spatula to spread the filling evenly. - 8
For decoration (optional): You can glaze the cake with melted chocolate or decorate with chopped nuts. Chill the cake for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the cake to set.
💡 プロのコツ
- ✓The thinner you roll the cake layers, the more delicate the final cake will be.
- ✓Ensure all ingredients for the filling are at room temperature for a smooth consistency.
- ✓Medovník can be made a day in advance, allowing the flavors to deepen.
