Preparation of the discs:
First, melt the honey and butter in a double boiler, then add the baking soda. In a bowl, mix the sugar and eggs.
Add the mixture, stirring constantly, cook for a few minutes. Remove from the double boiler and add the flour.
Knead quickly, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for a few hours. After a few hours, take the dough out of the fridge and divide it into 8 equal parts.
Dust some flour on parchment paper and roll out one piece at a time. Make a disc of 8-9 inches. Prick the dough and continue with the other pieces of dough.
Bake at 356°F for about 5 minutes.
Preparation of sour cherries:
In a saucepan, place the sugar, sour cherries, and cook for about 10 minutes, then let cool completely.
Preparation of cream:
Mix the sour cream, sugar, and fresh cream and whip.
Assembly:
Place some cream at the center of the cake base
place the first disc. Add a layer of cream, another disc, another layer of cream,
also add some of the prepared sour cherry mixture (I alternated, one layer yes, one no) and continue with all the discs. Cover the entire cake with the remaining cream. Clean the edge if needed.
Crumble the leftovers and cover the entire cake. You can do this with your hands or using a spatula. Remove the excess and place in the fridge for a few hours or preferably for an entire day.
Enjoy your meal!
