The 'Medovik' cake is an exquisite combination of tender honey layers and airy cream, giving it delightful softness. Although traditionally associated with Russian cuisine, its improved Japanese-style recipe adds sophistication and elegance.

The jelly in the composition adds lightness to the texture, while nuts add a savory touch. This cake is a true delight that evokes the warmth of home and is perfect for cozy family tea times or festive events.
