Ingredients
3/4 cup honey
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup burnt honey
3/4 cup honey
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
14 tablespoons unsalted butter (cut into pieces)
6 large eggs
2 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 teaspoon fine salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup burnt honey
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1 can dulce de leche (or homemade)
4 3/4 cups very cold heavy whipping cream, divided
Instructions
1-Gather all ingredients and prepare your workspace: by measuring flour, honey, sugar, and other components. Grease and flour your baking pans or line them with parchment paper.
2-In a saucepan over low heat: melt the butter and honey together until smooth and combined. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
3-In a mixing bowl: whisk eggs and sugar until pale and fluffy. Gradually add the honey-butter mixture, stirring continuously to combine.
4-Sift the flour and baking soda together and fold gently into the wet ingredients. Add cinnamon and mix until just combined to form a soft dough.
5-Divide the dough evenly and roll into thin layers. Place each layer on a baking sheet and bake at 375Β°F (180Β°C) for 6 to 7 minutes until a deep caramel color forms.
6-While layers bake, trim the edges, toast them, cool, and grind into fine crumbs for decoration.
7-Prepare the frosting by combining burnt honey, dulce de leche, salt, and part of the cream, then chill it before folding in the whipped remaining cream to medium-stiff peaks.
8-Assemble the cake by layering with frosting, cover the sides with toasted crumbs, and chill overnight for the best results.
