🇷🇺 Russia recipe
Medovik
Medovik is the queen of Russian cakes, a magnificent tower of impossibly thin honey-flavored layers sandwiched with a luscious sour cream frosting. Legend says it was created for Empress Elizabeth, wife of Alexander I, who despised honey but fell in love with this cake without knowing its secret ingredient. The cake must rest overnight, during which the frosting softens the layers into a melt-in-your-mouth texture that is nothing short of miraculous.
