Step by Step guide

Step 1

For the dough, mix 2 tablespoons of honey, 2 eggs, and 0.5–1 cup of sugar in a saucepan. Place over low heat and stir continuously. When the mixture begins to become homogeneous, immediately add 3 cups of sifted flour and 2 teaspoons of baking soda. Knead the dough. While it is still warm, divide the mixture into 8 equal parts and roll them into balls. Roll the balls into thin cakes. Bake in a preheated oven at 374°F until golden brown.

Step 2

For the cream, mix 1 cup of sugar, 2 eggs, and 1.5 tablespoons of flour. Pour in 1.5 cups of milk into this mixture. Bring to a boil, stirring continuously. Remove from heat and let cool. Add 400 grams of softened butter and beat until fluffy.

Step 3

Spread the cream between the cakes, stacking them on top of each other. The cakes will flatten under the cream. Sprinkle the top cake with crushed walnuts and decorate with berries.
