Cake "Ryzhik"

According to legend, the Empress Elizabeth first tasted the Ryzhik cake. It was baked by a new court pastry chef. Only they forgot to warn the newcomer that Elizabeth Alexeyevna does not like honey. And despite this, the dessert delighted the Empress. Not only was she not angry, but she even awarded the pastry chef and asked him to make her Ryzhik more often in the future. The cake is prepared with different creams. We offer a recipe for the classic Ryzhik cake.

In a deep bowl, beat 2 eggs and half a cup of sugar until soft foam forms. Work with a mixer for about 5 minutes. Separately, in a thick-bottomed saucepan, mix the butter and the remaining sugar, stirring constantly over low heat until all the sugar has dissolved. Add honey, bring to a boil and pour in the soda, continuing to stir quickly. The mixture should foam. Remove the saucepan from the heat, but do not stop stirring for another 5 minutes. Pour in the egg mixture, stir and return the saucepan to low heat.

Cake "Ryzhik" - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can use maple syrup or agave nectar as a 1:1 substitute for honey, but the flavor and texture may slightly differ.
Store the cake in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze individual slices for up to 1 month.
The recipe is already vegetarian as written. For a vegan version, replace eggs with flax eggs and use plant-based butter, sour cream, and condensed milk.
Lightly flour the parchment paper and rolling pin, or place a second sheet of parchment on top of the dough while rolling to prevent sticking.
Yes, halve all ingredients to make a smaller cake. Baking time may be slightly reduced, so monitor the cakes closely.
Make a syrup by simmering 1 cup milk with 1.5 cups sugar until reduced by half, then cool before using. Alternatively, use dulce de leche.
Piercing prevents air bubbles from forming and helps the cakes bake evenly without puffing up too much.
Yes, try whipped cream with jam, custard, or mascarpone mixed with honey for different flavor profiles.
The edges should be lightly golden and the center should feel firm but not hard. They'll crisp up slightly as they cool.
