Ingredients for the dough:

• eggs - 2 pcs.
• sugar - 160 g
• honey - 80 g
• cream - 100 g
• soda - 1 tsp
• salt - 0.5 tsp
• flour - 400 g

Ingredients for the cream:

• sour cream 20-30% - 500 g
• powdered sugar - 3 tbsp
• condensed milk - 150 ml
• lemon - 1 pc

Method of preparation:

1. Mix sugar, honey, eggs, and salt in a saucepan. Put on the fire. Add the butter. Stirring constantly, bring to a boil.

2. Remove from heat and add baking soda, mix well. The mass should turn white and increase in volume. Let cool to room temperature.

3. Add flour and knead the dough. It should be slightly sticky. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for several hours.

4. Divide into 7 pieces of about 112-114 g each, roll into balls. Place each between two sheets of parchment and roll out 1-2 mm thick. Using a plate, cut out round cakes of the desired size. The scraps of dough will make two additional cakes. The total number of cakes is 9.

5. Bake in a preheated oven to 170 degrees for 5-7 minutes. Put the finished cakes on a flat surface and let them cool.

6. For the cream, beat sour cream and powdered sugar with a mixer. Add the condensed milk and grated lemon zest, after pouring boiling water over it, and beat everything again. While whipping, pour in the lemon juice in a thin stream – the cream is ready.

7. Break one cake, and grind it with a blender. Spread the remaining cakes with cream. Sprinkle with crumbs on top.

8. Put the cake in the refrigerator and let it soak for several hours, preferably overnight.
