I have been meaning to try making a Russian Honey Cake ever since a friend told me that it is his all-time favourite cake ever. I will be making it very soon so wish me luck!
I just had to comment here and thank you soooooo much for including the ingredients in each step!
Saves me from scrolling back up 100 times while baking 🙂

The easiest way is to work with the cake cold. I press the crumbs onto the sides with my hand rather than trying to spread them on. Put the cake on a large sheet pan or piece of parchment to catch the mess, then take a small handful of crumbs and gently press them against the frosting, working your way around the cake. The frosting is intentionally soft, so don’t worry about getting the sides perfectly smooth first. And yes, it’s definitely a messy process, even when you’ve done it before.

My amateur first try did not turn out very pretty and I made quite the mess 🤣 otherwise loved this recipe and all of your helpful tips!

This is such a beautiful cake recipe. I’ve made it twice. And I love your grandmother’s story.

Loved taking the time to make this cake. Brought back a lot of family memories and turned out very good.

Love your grandmother story, mine used to make this cake, but she did not teach me. What a way you are honoring her legacy. I am going to make this soon.
