"Medus kūka" a.k.a "Honey Cake"

I guess the best Latvian traditional desert is Honey Cake which is my favourite Latvian cake. It is simple and delicious. It requires a little bit of work, but it is definitely worth it! 

Ingredients for 12 servings:

• 3 eggs
• 1 cup honey
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 16 ounce containers sour cream 
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 cup chopped walnuts

Don't get scared away because of the sour cream, it matches perfectly with the sweet honey taste. 

As I said previous, it takes a little time to make it delicious, but the taste of the cake will amaze you. 

Here are directions how to make it:

1. Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C)
2. Mix together eggs, honey, flour, and baking soda in a large bowl. Spoon 3 to 4 tablespoons of batter onto 5 9x13-inch sheets of parchment paper. Spread the mixture as thin as possible using a wide spatula. there is enough batter for 5 thin layers. 
3. Place one sheet of batter onto a baking pan and bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the baked cake layer from the baking sheet and prick with a fork to enhance filling absorbency. Repeat with the remaining 4 cake layers. 
4. Stir together the sour cream and sugar in a small bowl. Place one cake layer in 9x13-inch baking dish with the parchment paper side up. Carefully remove the parchment paper from the cake layer. Spread 1/5th of the sour cream mixture on the cake layer and then sprinkle 1/5th of the walnuts on the layer. Repeat the process with the remaining 4 layers. Cover and refrigerate overnights. Trim off any ragged edges before serving. 

Cook the cake for 15 minutes and leave it for 9 hours in the fridge. It is gonna be great! 

Enjoy!
