Medovik, honey cake, has long been one of the most popular desserts in Russia. A touch of honey infuses an aromatic lilt into the slender layers of this cake. In between the cake layers, which can be stacked as high as 10 layers are honey flavored soft cookie dough, filled with a lightly sweetened sour cream frosting. Variations on Medovik differ widely, but the most popular take incorporates one of two very Russian ingredients into the sweet filling.
Some use the rich sour cream that adds flavor to some of Russia’s most comforting foods, from borscht to blini. Others get their flavor from sweetened condensed milk, which became an icon of cooking during the Soviet era when fresh milk could be hard to come by. Just one bite is enough to make you sway to Abba’s “Honey honey, how you thrill me, a-ha, honey honey. Honey honey, nearly kill me, a-ha, honey honey”! Russia.
