Russian Honey Cake - Food Wishes

- Опубликовано: 21 ноя 2024
- Let me state for the record that this Russian Honey Cake was probably the best cake I’ve ever eaten, and certainly the best cake I’ve ever made. It’s not an especially fast, or easy bake, but believe me, as you’re enjoying this, there will be no regrets. Not about the effort it takes, at least. The calories might be another story.

Food Wishes, you forgot one thing about this cake, the thinner the layers the better, this way over night the layers will somewhat merge, and the whole cake will be even more soft and creamy in texture.
And about the cream, we make it on sour cream without heavy cream, but overall your recipe was pretty good. )
It would help if you took some English lessons
And learn sentence composition
You keep repeating "what we'll do.. " and other annoying phrases
Or, watch other people's videos, and how they speak
The other thing is your reading, you keep reading like a 2nd grader, announcing wrong words in sentence,
with a weird up and down cadence
The way you make every sentence sound the same is... unbearable .. the lower dip at the end of every sentence..well I couldn't watch...

No. He needs to know what sucks about him, in order to stop sucking.

“Whether your making this honey cake for your honey’s sake. Or whether your just in a mood for a challenging bake.”
Such spontaneous poetry.
How do you know it was spontaneous? Maybe this was pre-written.
And all the more impressive if he said it on the first take,
unless, like the person above me said, the spontaneity was fake.
I come from Ukraine where we call it just honey cake, and I thank you Chef John for that video. My grandma used to make this cake for my birthdays every year because she knew it was my favorite cake. She used a slightly different approach, but it looked similar to what you did. My grandma is no longer with us and I hadn’t have honey cake in years, so I just wanted to thank you for bringing good memories in.
Aww wish i could give some Medovik now i just made it
😍😍😍😍😍😍🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗💓💖
Vladyslav Kitsela thank you for sharing that lovely memory of your Grandma with us 🌸🌼🌻

I am from Russia and I've made this cake for my birthday. It's the most authentic tasting cake I could have possibly imagined. Thank you for the video, Chef John. Childhood memories are priceless and this cake helped me to go back to those times.
I am Russian, and this cake is absolutely amazing, and definitely our favorite!
Thank you chef for introducing this piece of art to the world!!!
You are the best!
Медовик из магазина не особо.. Дамский каприз лучше. И домашний медовик конечно тоже, тем более если он мягкий и не сухой как в магазине. И наполеон тоже просто рай
I made this from another recipe and it was very easy ruclips.net/video/1LEPHyiF2UA/видео.html just a bit different to this one.
Martimus Prime nah
Martimus Prime I don’t think so , sir . Just a nickname
Ничего общего с оригиналом не имеет. Настоящий торт даже называется иначе - "Рыжик". Это 👆🏻 жалкая пародия, адаптированная для продаж. Зачем возиться с тончайшими коржами, которые в готовом варианте становятся невидны? Легче сделать толстенные кожи и совершенно странный крем. Так что, я тоже русская, и знакома именно с ОРИГИНАЛОМ, но не с жалкой пародией!
As a kid I hated all cakes, until my parents bought me this. Since then it was my birthday cake every year. I can eat so much of it. I also like other cakes now, for people that are wandering. Greetings from Czechia
This cake is literally in every grocery store here in Russia. And now I have to find one in 4 am.

How is it from 1 to 10? Is it worth the effort?
Dear, Chef John
I have been a long-time watcher and love keeping up with your recipes (since your start on the blog), but this one touched me in a very special way and for that, I am so very thankful. You see, my grandfather used to be an avid baker. He loved trying new recipes and exploring his culinary talent in the kitchen. Most of my memories of him are us whipping up a cake, kneading the dough together, pinching dumplings together and laughing. Recently, my grandfather passed, and I find it difficult to make any of our old recipes together, as all I can think about is our time spent working on that recipe together over the years. Cooking was always a two-person sport for me with him, although sometimes he would beat me to the punch to surprise me with my favorite foods. Well, this honey cake (although I will be honest, he used a different recipe which took a whole day, with 15-20 thin individual layers) brought back so many memories of our time together. This cake has such a deep and profound meaning to me, that it is indescribable. My now-husband and I, had our first date, with this cake in the center of the table. This was the cake I came home to after an especially rough day. This was a cake that was always there when my grandpa was. And now with him gone, this means that this cake, has too, disappeared from my life. That is until I saw your recipe pop up. As always, I love your videos and your recipes, but this one took on a greater meaning than I think you may have anticipated. So, thank you for that! Thank you for sharing your culinary explorations and showing me that cooking and food is one of the things that brings everyone together. Thank you for the hard work and time you put into your channel. And thank you for allowing us to join you on your culinary journey in your kitchen.
Thank you
Anna P-If I was your friend or neighbor I would make this cake for you just for sharing your Grandpa story with us
Gramps is up in heaven smiling down on you
I'm sure he misses you as much as you miss him
Anna P. Wow, touching story... nothing to do with the cake but your story made me miss my grandma 😔 hope all is well with you!
sending you honey cakes and hugs dear heart, thank you for sharing your beautiful memories.
That was beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing your special memories.
I really enjoyed reading your story. Thank you for sharing. It's not easy losing a loved one, especially when you shared a mutual passion for something. I hope you can find the strength to start baking again one day, maybe with your husband or a good friend, and rediscover your love of this cake!
“...and that is just my take...”
No John, that is just *OUR* take. This cake belongs to all of us, Comrade
"BUT ANYWAYS..."
We make it in Latvija as well....it is one of the best cakes I have ever eaten!! Chef John, thank you for sharing this wonderful dessert with the world!
Chef John’s I cooked the cake yesterday, based on your recipe. It’s amazing! And it is the best honey cake that I tried in my entire life. I’m russian. Really authentic great recipe. Few more notes for “gluten free people”, you can easily substitute grain flour to “gluten free mix” from costco or any other brand/store. The pastry will behave the same. I did gluten free for my husband. Also, if you don’t have whipping cream, you can substitute it with cream-cheese or eastern version “labneh” cheese. PS. But don’t touch basic proportions and ingredients for pastry! Pastry is the “key” in this cake. Good luck everyone ❤️

Out of all the RUclips chef's I watch. You are by far my favorite. I like how simply you keep everything. Not using any fancy gadgets and you explain everything so well.
In my family's recipe, we add walnuts to the cake and the crumb topping. It adds a nice umami element to a sweeter honey! Sometimes for a more savory version with the sweet cream, a dark rye or buckwheat honey is a nice substitution.
Do you toast the walnuts first? I hate waxy raw walnuts in desserts and the roasting gives a deeper flavor.
@@recoil53 I wondered about that but wouldn't the flavor of walnuts get stronger? Would that over power the other flavor towns going on in the cake ?
@@studiohq Yeah, the flavor would be stronger. Without having the cake, I have no idea if it overpowers or is a better taste.
@@windygreychannel hi! How about cashew nuts or peanuts? Walnuts are rare in my country
Sounds delish!..
I’ve been baking my entire life and it never ceases to amaze me how labor intensive so many recipes are.
Same...Super amazes me...Gonna give recipes like this a try, as my ADHD is better, lol...
Yes, not quick or particularly easy but worth every second of the trouble it takes.
You had me at “cake croutons”. 🤤
That was like 3/4 of the way through - you're a tough sell.
Delicious
Exactly!
I made this cake for my family this Christmas. It may honestly be the best cake I’ve ever had and it brought a smile to our faces on Christmas Day!
This spreadable batter version is amazing. I totally eyeballed the ingredients, because I made it couple times before, used just sourcream and sweetened condensed milk in 4:1 ratio as frosting and it came out great! Although I messed up and burned two out of my nine planned layers instead of just one.. so they both went into the crumb topping and the burnt halves got safely destroyed in my stomach (yum, carcinogens!). That's what I get from having only wood fired stove - Siberian cold on one side of the oven and reactor number 4 on the other. Anyways, I'm never going back to the rolling pin version. Thank you chef John!
Has anyone else been refreshing RUclips since they saw Chef John post a picture of this thing?
I plead the 5th
yep we did
U look like tobey maguire spiderman
The f5 club.
Yup! 😆
In Czech Republic we call this Medovník and its my most favourite cake I've ever had. Incredibly tasty
same name in Poland
I tried this in Moscow once it was THE best cake I've ever tasted in my life!
I spent today making this to bring to Thanksgiving tomorrow, to have something different alongside our traditional apple and pumpkin pies. It was indeed a lot of work, but I hope it'll be worth it, especially since my medovik started to look like the Leaning Tower of Pisa as I frosted it. I did the recommended 1 cup of frosting per layer, but it started to ooze out the sides, and even then, I had leftover frosting in the bowl by the time I was done. Still, I straightened it up best I could and wrapped it in foil and now it's in the fridge at last. Hopefully he'll hold the shape when he's unveiled tomorrow. Fingers crossed!
EDIT: The cake turned out beautifully! All the layers stayed together! But more importantly, it was absolutely DELICIOUS. This is the best medovik I've ever had, and true, I've only had it a few times before, but still, I loved it. And the rest of the family did, too. There was only about 1/4 of the whole cake left by the end of the evening. I'm so glad it was a hit because it took me a whole afternoon to make all by myself. I suspect they're going to expect me to bring it for all our special occasions. Thanks, Chef John, and I hope you had a great Thanksgiving!
oh this is a very nice comment
@@RedboRF Thanks!
@@RedboRF Appreciated the update! I love this comment too. I can’t wait to make this for my sister’s house warming/birthday Sept.16.
@@konalily how did it turn out?😃
You have the absolute most amazing talking style. Seriously, hearing your recipes makes me happy.
No.
Yeah I find it very distracting he uses the same up down inflection in his voice at the end of almost every sentence.
Oh, Chef John. How you grossly overestimate the amount of free space in my refrigerator!
tricityladytn I read that as free speech in my fridge 😩🧐
He greatly over estimated the size of my refrigerator
Ggtty
And your stomach?
Ah, yes, the classic "Ol' Bag 'n' Bash".
look how they massacered my boy
That ricochet method is genius wish i had thought of this
Honest to goodness, this just HAS to be one of the most delicious things...ever, in the history of cooking.
I finally made this cake despite the difficulty warnings. The only thing I changed up was adding 50% more cream for the filling and using larger rectangular silicone baking sheets for the layers, reducing them to six. I had never tasted medovik before so it was a bit of a risk to make it for my daughters birthday. But I am pleased to report that the cake got great reviews from my daughter and the guests. It did not disappoint. Thanks!
I use the base from 8" spring form cake mould. because it has a slight lip, I just add the batter until it touches the edges.
Awesome tip!😊
Thanks for sharing ☺️
that's exactly how I make it too!
Do you grease it with butter first or just apply the batter directly to the base?
How much burnt honey and unburnt honey goes in the cake batter? Also, how much goes into the whipped cream? Please respond soon!
Does this replace the screen he used?..
I never really cared for cakes until I discovered this cake months back. Been gaining weight eating this at least once a week. Best cake ever. Watching you make this is making me crave for a slice right now
“And then I have some horrible news, we have to refrigerate it overnight”
Hahaha
The cake looks gorgeous!!!
Daria K AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHSHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHWHAHHAHAHSHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH

🤣🤣🤣
There is no way it will survive the night with me.
Will have to buy a couple doz donuts just to make it thru!..hahaha..Seriously!
My friend made this for my birthday today.
It really is an unusual cake - not over sweet like other cakes.
It's quite spectacular with it's layers and the fresh cream with honey is perfect.
My mother used to bake similar cake (in Lithuania). The difference is that she made much thicker batter (she rolled each piece with a rolling pin), and filling was made of sour cream, lemon and sugar. Enormous amount of work to make this cake, but one of the best culinary childhood memories.
My mom used to make it for me when I was growing up in the USSR.
*Our mom
Had this cake in Prague some years ago and it was the best cake I’ve ever had. Glad to run into this video so now I can try to make it myself!
I started this the night before my birthday at like 5 or 6 o'clock, and I ended up frosting the thing at 1 in the morning haha. WELL worth it even though I slightly overbaked my discs. To me, it tasted like an adult graham cracker, and the slightly caramelized flavor (more than slight in my case due to my overbaking) really did kick ass with the frosting. And the leftover cake croutons made an awesome snack dipped into the leftover frosting. I may or may not have eaten most of the cake myself over the next week.
This cake has always been my favourite, so many childhood memories, always had it for my birthday or if I came back to visit grandma she'd have a massive fresh one made for me, delicious
"and then I have a horrible news, you have to refrigerate it overnight" loooool
Loool he's such a legend 😂😂
I practically shed a tear at that. Oh, imagining the pain of all that work and then having to wait a day. I am not that strong.
But this cake is delicious, and I literally hate Honey.
LOLOLOLOL.
Made this cake 3 times following your recipe, everyone who tried it, was amazed! It definitely requires some extra effort than a regular cake, but god it is delicious and absolutely WORTH IT! Thank you so much
I have 0 idea of how this recipe went into my recommendations but you saved my life man...My brother and i have fallen in love with the one our neighbor gave us
You know what else is therapeutic? You! You’re my favorite. I can’t wait to make this. I had it for the first time in Prague this past summer. It was HEAVENLY. Thrilled to see it here! 🙏☺️🌷
Family verdict: 1 cake, 5 adults, only 3 slices left! Spells success in my book! Great flavour, the sour cream and burnt honey in icing works really well with the cake. My niece was quick to inform me this is her favorite cake now. My response, "So you want me to bake this again?" "Oh, yeah!" Was niece's response.
I think what I personally like about the texture is that this cake is light, and sweetness coming from a lovely honey flavor. Goes great with coffee or tea. YUM!!!!!!!!!!
My wife made this for me for my birthday and it took her four hours to make. It was a labor of love and came out incredible. I do not eat cake or sweets more than a few times a year and this was just amazing and not too sweet which I like. Thanks Chef John!!
I've bought this from a Russian store in town...OMG it's the best cake! After watching the work put into baking it, I'm happy they do such a great job at that little store! Usually like to get one for Easter!
Chef John I've been following you for a loooong time now and this is my fave from all the cakes you've made! So pretty
Chef John vs Life of Boris: the Honey Cake showdown is something we all need.
Didn't expect to see a Boris shutout, blin. 😉
Hey a fellow Life of Boris fan! Stay cheeki breeki my gopnik comrade!
I believe Chef John made a tastier and more true to the way the honey cake should be version, but it's always a joy to see Boris cut butter with Svetlana.
Life of Boris is the real deal, blin !
I can just see the two of them sipping extra strong kvass and eating seeds while they cook.
I am absulutely addicted to this beauty. I make it every month and everytime it tastes delicious.
Thank heaven there's a Russian bakery a worthwhile ten miles from my house. This cake is dangerously good.
This is what my dreams are made off...absolutely adore this case. Best cake ever!
First time seeing your channel. Love the narration! In the USA we use way too much refined sugar in our baked goods. I love how other countries use more natural sweeteners like honey. This looks delicious! Thank you for sharing!
Wow, I never knew about the ‘ricochet’ method... great tip! I will try this recipe
I lived for 2 years in Estonia and I loved honey cake. I moved back to my home country and we don't have it, so I finding out chef John had the recipe made me so incredibly happy.
Making this to share with my family on my birthday today. Thank you for the birthday wishes on cameo, Chef John! I've been watching and cooking your recipes for over ten years, and hearing from you was truly amazing!
Awesome, Chef! My grandmother used to be asked to make this cake for special occasions such as weddings and birthdays all the time. Everyone was always happy. Your recipe is very similar to hers, but she adds fewer eggs and therefore (I think) her pancakes are thinner. In a cross section her pancakes are as thin as cream layer. We have this cake video recipe too! Anyway, your recipe is incredible! 🍰🧡
I just discovered this channel, and it has re-ignited my love for baking - believe me I want to make everything I've watched so far - and possibly is giving new meaning to my life. Oh also, love the humour. Just can't get enough of it. Thaaaaaaanks.
Russian sweets r always so good . Napoleon and honey cake my god they really taste so awesome ❤️
For all the other Europeans, I weighted out the ingredients:
¾ cup wildflower honey= 216 g
1 cup white sugar= 169 g
14 tablespoons unsalted butter= 196 g
3 ¾ cups all-purpose flour = 380 g
4 cups cold heavy whipping cream = 756 g
¾ cup sour cream = 180 g
You bring me such joy Chef John!
We love you chef John!!!!
"and this is coming from someone who doesnt even like cake"... proceeds to film himself eating 2 slices of cake
That's the first thing I thought!
I “don’t like“ cake either, but I would eat that. A lot of times, when people say that they don’t like cake, it means that they would rather have just about any other dessert if given the choice.
@@AnneIglesias "A lot of times, when people say that they don’t like cake," Who are these people??? I've never met one or ever heard anybody say this, nor would I associate with them. I can understand passing on that grocery store bakery cake at office parties that has the Crisco frosting.
metronommie I don’t like cake either. Except honey cake. The only cake I like is honey cake.
I love honey.
Like, I'm not a sweet or sugar lover: I'll pick chips or popcorn over chocolate any day.
But honey is my weakness.
I can eat it by the jar nonstop.
I added some extra honey to the frosting and it came out so moist and sweet and omg... I live alone with my girl, and she's really small, yet the cake didn't make it through the night.
@Cactus Jack
Lmfao why?
@Cactus Jack
OMG!
LMAO!!!
Makes me think of a conversation I had with a Ukrainian coworker, w,ho was very confused at "american" cakes that were not several layers tall and, imo, very complicated. She had a very advanced sense of what dessert ought to be, it was rather admirable

I made this last week for my first wedding anniversary! Fantastic recipe, of course we couldn’t wait until the next day, we just had to try a little bit 😋 the family loved it, it was gone in no time 🙏🏻
I don't know if anyone will read this but I decided to make this to celebrate my mom and my birthday since they're only 3 days apart from each other. It was a lot of work but omfg it was so worth it. I highly recommend anyone curious give this a try. It's insane. Thank you chef John!
That cream and honey mixture would make some *awesome* butter for pastries, rice krispie/cereal treats, topping sweet potatoes, toast, etc.
Btw the Russian name is simply "Medovik" :)
Is this pronounced may-DOE-veek Or MAY-do-veek or differently?
Thanks!
@@selah71 Med-o-vick (sorta)
Uh... its complicated, but it will be something like M''-yo-do-vick if you make "yo" as short as possible.
@@selah71 the stress is, actually, on the last syllable :) [me da 'vik]. M is palatalized, but I don't know how to transcribe it properly in English.
Thanks everyone! I've a better idea how to pronounce Medovik.
Unfortunately, where I live in Midwest USA, there are no bakeries that sell Medovik, so I plan to make it myself.
But, if I discover such a bakery, it will be interesting to see if I'm pronouncing Medovik correctly or if the bakery does.
If they ask, "Would you like to try MAY-do-veek." I'll know they are mispronouncing it! :)
О да! Это мой любимый торт! Спасибо!
Lol 1:47 “we’re gonna add a touch of sugar”
....."and then what we'll do to this is absolutely nothing."
😂😂😂😂😂
What does John think is a LOT of sugar LOL.
Made this for my birthday! It was amazing, but I added one thing, that really cranked this up to 11. Clotted Cream, as made according to one of Chef John's recipes, and it was GLORIOUS. I added just a little bit to the whipped cream that went into the cake, along with som sour cream. Thanks for the fantastic recipes, Chef John! Stay healthy and all the best to you!
First time in this channel and wow! I just loved the way the chef talks because it makes you feel he is having a very casual conversation. 😊
"You have to learn to use the Force... And your fingertips" 😂 😂
Thanks for this Chef, my husband loves to buy this as a treat. Then someone I know made it, a huge one, and I was so impressed (trying hard not to be jealous) but now I can try it myself!
This looked so good! I am going to step out of my comfort zone and give it a try. My husband is excited too. Thanks Chef!
I have only come across this cake once in my life, at a Russian restaurant. And I can positively say that it is without question the best cake i have ever tried in my life!!
Many many years ago I dated a Russian guy, and his mom would make this cake.. After we broke up I missed this cake more than him!! I've never found a recipe of exactly how she made it til now. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!

Happy to see Slavs invade comrade Chef John’s channel on this video :D
This cake is such a big topic in most Russian family’s because everyone has a different recipe, for the dough, for the cream, it varies so extremely. I don’t like most of them, except one my mom made this year, with another completely different recipe 😂 Yours is reminding me very much of the one you can get in stores, which is the least tasty for me 💀😂 But I know a lot of people who love them, so I am gonna share this recipe. 🖤
My friend from Chechnya made this for me before for my birthday. I can’t believe how much work it takes but so worth it, it was gorgeous
Thank you! It has been many years since I have been able to taste a honey cake, which I first tasted in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, Russia. It is deluscious.

This is what happens when you honor your gifts and talents..perfection.
This is my favorite thing to eat when I go to “20th Century Cafe” in San Francisco ❤️
I just finished making this, took about 4.5 hours in total. Only glitch i had was that i left the cooked honey in the pan and it went solid, so i was not able to get it to mix into the whipped cream :(. I ended up just adding reg honey, so hopefully that works out okay. Cant wait to give it a try tomorrow.
I had the same problem, if anyone else has this problem, add a tiny touch of water and heat over low, it loosened up and was pourable, but I then waited until it was room temp, did not want to cook the cream!
I added 2 tablespoons of water, and placed over low flame. Mixed like a dream.
My favorite cake, that I've never had.
Will make a square shape and freeze in smaller portions as this recipie will make a huuuuge cake😂 love it! Made 3 times now and all keep on talking about it❤
I love food wishes
I'm here everyday and I enjoy Chef John.
