Ingredients for - Honey cake Orange note
How to cook deliciously - Honey cake Orange note
1. Stage
The first thing to do is to make the orange curd, because it needs to infuse, to thicken. To do this, remove the zest and squeeze the juice from a well-washed orange. We also need sugar, butter and an egg. I have enough cream for two layers in the cake. If you need more, make a double batch.
2. Stage
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the egg, sugar, orange juice (we need 60 ml) and zest and stir until smooth. Add the butter and place over low heat.
3. Stage
With constant stirring, bring the kurd until it thickens. Remove from the heat, pass the cream through a sieve to remove the zest and possible lumps. Cover the curd with cling film. Let it cool completely. It will become denser after cooling. If you want a thick curd, you can add 1 tsp. of starch when combining all the components in a saucepan.
4. Stage
Prepare the ingredients for the cakes. Sift the flour, remove the zest from the orange and squeeze out 1 tbsp. of juice. Cut the butter into pieces.
5. Stage
Beat the eggs with sugar until frothy
6. Stage
Add all the other ingredients to the eggs whipped with sugar, except the flour. Place in a water bath, stirring until the sugar and butter have completely dissolved.
7. Stage
Next, pour 200 grams of flour, continuing to stir, brew the dough to a thick viscous consistency, in the process of brewing the color of the dough will become darker. It takes 10-15 minutes. Then remove the container with the dough from the bath, let cool a little, and enter the rest of the flour, stirring with a spoon. Flour may take less, do not clog! The dough will end up soft and not sticky to your hands. Put the dough in a bag, and into the refrigerator for 30-40 minutes.
8. Stage
Ready dough is very plastic, almost does not stick to the rolling pin. We divide the dough into 8 parts. Each of which we roll out on parchment, 2-3 mm thick.
9. Stage
Mark the desired diameter with a lid, pierce with a fork. Place in the oven for 6-7 minutes (200 degrees) until brown. In the process of baking the dough may puff up, no big deal.

Let the finished cakes cool completely, also leave the scraps. We will use them to make crumbs for sprinkles.
