Russian Honey Cake is a thin layer cake made with raw honey and a sour cream frosting. This honey cake recipe can be made round or rectangular for a party size! My Ukrainian husband loves this Medovik Cake Recipe and this dessert is covered in the simplest cake decoration (leftover cake crumbs!)

Honey cake isn’t the only way to enjoy raw honey. If you love honey try our savory honey recipes including this Honey Mustard Recipe, Honey Glazed Salmon, and Honey Baked Ham for special occasions. Other popular honey cake recipes to try are the Chocolate Spartak Cake and Honey Prune Cake.

What Is Honey Cake?

“Medovik” is a Russian name for Honey Cake. This honey layer cake is popular in both Russia and Ukraine where we love to eat it paired with a hot cup of tea. It’s not too sweet and the cake layers are completely sugar-free! There are mainly 2 ways to make Russian Honey Cake, which are rolling out the layers (a lengthy preparation), or the sponge cake technique (like this easy recipe.)

This sponge cake “Medovik”, soaks up the cream filling very quickly and can be served in just a couple of hours! It turns out to be a melt-in-your-mouth dessert just like the Russian Honey Cakes sold at some Russian Supermarkets! However, the rolled-out layers need to soften longer taking up to 24 hours before serving. To hasten the soaking process always start with thin layers. Thicker layers need more soaking time.
