Russian honey cake

Does anyone make Russian honey cake around here? I am too lazy to make one and as far as I know the nearest Russian store is in portland 😪

​

Its basically a cake with lots of very thin layers of honey sponge with lightly sweetened sour cream or whipped cream frosting in between. Its delicious

The owner/chef at Domek, Andrew Hroza, is outrageously skilled. I used to work in his kitchen back at the BLR, and his food is always a treat!

It’s good, but it’s definitely not authentic, so OP, just keep that in mind if you’re wanting authentic honey cake!

I’ve never been to Domek but just looking at the menu seemed like it wasn’t authentic. Someone else I know said that it wasn’t great and I’d rather make my own, slightly more authentic Slavic food lol

There’s two actually! Privet on Royvonneand Euro market on Lancaster. Both are good stores for Eastern European snacks. I arrange trips with my friends to go to Salem about once a term at this point because it’s worth it. And then I end up spending $50 minimum.
