About the class

Honey cake is a traditional Eastern European festive dessert, often enjoyed during Christmas and the holiday season. It features sweet, buttery honey sponges that are cooked before baking, complemented by a rich vanilla buttercream. At the center, a sharp, wine-poached spiced prune compote balances the cake's sweetness. The crowning layer, known as the “grilaz,” consists of crispy honey caramel-coated pecans and walnuts. This stunning dessert is perfect for sharing around the holiday table.
