Medovik is a layer cake popular in Russia and other countries of the former Soviet Union.This most favourite Russian honey dessert is the seemingly complicated and time-consuming “Medovik” tort. It consists of layers of biscuit with a cream filling and is often covered with nuts. Of a soft texture, it has the taste of caramelized sugar. Honey was an important ingredient in Russian cuisine dating back to pagan times. It was a natural sweetener long before sugar was readily available. The honey biscuit, made with real honey, is first cooked on stovetop and then baked. Once cooled the soft biscuit is cut into thin layers and layered with the cooked condensed milk. Some recipes also include walnuts and dried fruits, like apricots or plums. But the authentic medovik recipe is believed to be made of just honey sponge cake and whipped creme fraische cream.
