Honey cake with custard is a delicate treat inspired by French pastry traditions. Its airy honey layers are soaked in fragrant cream, creating a harmony of sweetness and softness. Honey adds a subtle caramel note to the cake, while the butter-enriched custard makes it silky and rich. The composition is completed with crushed walnuts and fresh berries, adding texture and a refreshing taste. An ideal choice for a cozy tea time or special celebration, this dessert captivates with its tenderness and deep, layered sweetness that unfolds with each bite.

For the dough, mix 2 tablespoons of honey, 2 eggs, and 0.5–1 cup of sugar in a pot. Place on low heat and stir continuously. When the mixture starts to become homogeneous, immediately add 3 cups of sifted flour and 2 teaspoons of baking soda. Knead the dough. While it is still warm, divide the mass into 8 equal parts and roll into balls. Roll the balls into thin cakes. Bake in a preheated oven at 190 degrees until golden brown.
