Step-by-Step Instructions for Russian Honey Cake
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Beat together softened butter, sugar, and honey until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Gradually add eggs.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and cinnamon. Combine with wet mixture to form dough.
- Divide the dough into 8 portions and roll out each to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut out circles for cake layers.
- Bake the cut circles on lined baking sheets for about 5-7 minutes until golden. Cool on wire racks.
- Whip heavy cream until soft peaks form. Fold in sour cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract to create filling.
- Assemble the cake by stacking baked layers with cream filling in between. Cover entire cake with remaining filling.
- Chill the assembled cake in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or overnight.
- Before serving, garnish with crushed nuts and a drizzle of honey.
