Unusually fast and wonderfully delicious honey cake from the "Guests at the Door" series.

Ingredients:

FOR THE DOUGH:
 - 100 g of butter (can be replaced with margarine)
 - 2 eggs
 - 0.5 cup of sugar
 - 2 tablespoons of honey
 - 1 teaspoon of baking soda
 - 1 packet of vanilla sugar
 - 1 cup of flour, or as needed (the dough should be like thick sour cream)

FOR THE CREAM:
 - 500 g of sour cream 20%
 - 1/2 cup of powdered sugar
 - 1 packet of vanilla sugar
 - a handful of prunes (dried)

Method of preparation:

For topping - grated milk chocolate with nuts

Heat honey with soda over low heat, stirring constantly until the mass is fully foamy.

Beat the eggs with sugar, vanilla, and salt.

Chop the butter into pieces.

Now add the butter to the honey mixture first, then, stirring, add everything else. Mix well, adding flour until the consistency of thick sour cream is achieved.

Place in a greased and floured mold and send to the oven at 160 °C until ready (20-30 minutes).

Check for readiness with a stick; if it doesn't stick, it's ready!

While our honey cake is baking, we prepare the cream. Whip the sour cream with powdered sugar and vanilla.

Now divide our mass into 2 equal parts. In one, add the rinsed and dried, chopped prunes. Send both containers to the refrigerator.

When our cake is ready, remove it from the oven and while still hot, cut it into 2 layers.

Take the part of the cream with prunes and spread it (almost all) directly on the HOT cake.

Don't be afraid - the sour cream doesn't spread and holds its shape well, and soaks in instantly!

Now let it cool, spread the remaining cream with prunes, and cover with the second layer. Spread plain sour cream on top.

Then decorate as desired. Nuts, crumbs, or chocolate decorations can be used.
