This honey cake is the cake I made for my own wedding. It’s soft, moist, tangy, and tastes like honey! It has an impressive eight cake layers with an easy four ingredient sour cream filling. You do need some patience to roll out each layer but it is well worth it. This is a popular Russian and Ukrainian cake - for good reason!
