Description
Bee Sting Cake is a delightful American dessert, featuring layers of honey-flavored cake filled with creamy filling and topped with toasted almonds for a crunchy finish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- ½ cup milk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 package (3 ounces) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 2–3 tablespoons milk optional
- 1 cup sliced almonds
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon butter
- 1 teaspoon flour
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease the springform pan with butter and flour.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add in the milk and vanilla extract, then fold in the flour and baking powder until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan and bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- While the cake cools, whip the heavy cream and mix it with the pudding mix until smooth. If the filling is too thick, add 2-3 tablespoons of milk.
- Once the cake has cooled, slice it in half and spread the filling generously in between the layers.
- Top the cake with sliced almonds and sprinkle with granulated sugar before serving.
Notes
For added flavor, consider drizzling honey over the top before serving. The cake can be made a day ahead to enhance the flavors.
