World Recipe: Medovik Cake

16 Nov World Recipe: Medovik Cake

From Russia comes the Medovik Cake, the classic honey cake that layers large homemade honey cookies with a creamy mixture of cream cheese and yogurt, all topped with crushed cookies. An irresistible dessert that wins over everyone with its flavor and texture.

Ingredients:

550 g flour

120 g butter

125 g sugar

85 g honey

2 eggs

2 teaspoons baking powder

For the cream:

400 g natural yogurt

400 g cream cheese

100 g powdered sugar

Instructions:

1. Sift the flour into a bowl. Beat the eggs with sugar, then add the honey and chopped butter.
2. Melt the butter in a double boiler, stirring constantly. Add the baking powder and mix.
3. Add the sifted flour and knead until a smooth dough forms. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
4. Prepare the cream: beat cream cheese, yogurt, and powdered sugar until combined. Keep chilled.
5. Divide the dough into 8–10 portions. Roll each portion between two sheets of parchment paper to 2 mm thickness. Mark the mold and bake at 180 °C (356 °F) for 5 minutes.
6. Crush the leftover dough to decorate the cake.
7. Assemble: alternate layers of cookie and cream on a plate, cover the top and sides with cream, sprinkle with crushed cookie, and press lightly.
8. Refrigerate overnight so the cookies soften and the flavors meld.

And that’s it! Serve the Medovik Cake and enjoy a delicious combination of honey and cream that delights everyone.
