"Medovik" is fast - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I substitute sour cream in the cream layer with something else?

Yes, you can use Greek yogurt or crème fraîche as a substitute for sour cream. Both will give a similar tangy flavor and creamy texture.

How long can I store Medovik cake, and how should I keep it fresh?

Store the cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. For best freshness, let it sit overnight to allow the layers to soak properly.

Can I make a gluten-free version of Medovik?

Yes, simply replace regular flour with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. The texture may vary slightly, so ensure the dough remains semi-liquid as described.

What’s the best way to serve Medovik?

Medovik tastes best when chilled. Serve it cold, optionally garnished with extra crumbs, fresh berries, or a drizzle of honey for added sweetness.

Can I freeze Medovik for later?

Yes, you can freeze the assembled cake (without toppings) for up to 1 month. Thaw it overnight in the fridge before serving.

What’s the secret to even cake layers?

Use a kitchen scale to divide the dough equally, and spread it evenly on the baking sheet with a spatula for uniform thickness.

How can I make this cake less sweet?

Reduce the sugar in the cream layer to 150g or use a sugar substitute like erythritol for a lighter sweetness while keeping the texture intact.

Can I bake all the layers at once if I have multiple pans?

Yes, if you have multiple baking sheets, bake them simultaneously in a preheated oven, rotating pans halfway through for even baking.

What if my dough is too thick or too thin?

If too thick, add a splash of milk; if too thin, sprinkle in a bit more flour. The dough should be semi-liquid but spreadable.

Is Medovik suitable for vegetarians?

Yes, this recipe is vegetarian as it uses eggs and dairy. For a vegan version, replace eggs with flax eggs and use plant-based butter and yogurt.
