I actually have a question beforeI make the cake... would it be ok to substitute sourcream with Chobani Greek Yoghurt? I am making it for my American co-workers, and they are not as used to using sour cream in most of the dishes like Latvians :))

It's impossible to spread 3-4 tbsp of sticky or any batter into 9x12 rectangle. There must be some mistake. I had to double recipe to get 4 layers about 8/9x12" each, they did raise and looked good. I will try to post a picture later. They stick to the parchment paper badly. To remove paper without ruining your cake, you need to use damp kitchen towel. Put your cake paper side down on the damp towel, let it rest for a minute, then turn it over and carefully remove paper. And just so you know, this is not an alternative to Russian honey cake. It's not the same. It's very very chewy, rubber like. The layers soaked up all filling, and I did use a lot, but the cake was extremely dry anyways. I made dozens of honey cakes in my life (with water bath or melting honey with soda until foamy, there are many techniques), this is the first one I threw away. I will stick to my old recipes, 3 tbsp honey is enough to make yummy layered honey cake. I will not be making this again.

Make sure the layers are toasty brown and you will have no trouble getting them off of the parchment... it's like a jelly roll without the roll. I used yogurt rather than sour cream and added 2 T of honey to the filling.

Something is missing in the filling. I have added a little cocoa powder to the filling - a little better. Other wise all you eat is sour cream. Also, there is absolutely not enough dough for 5 layers. I did very thin layers and hardly had enough for 4.

Absolutely fantastic!!! Thank you so much for sharing your recipe. Used it the other day just to try out and was pleasantly surprised to find out it's less messy and not as time-consuming as my traditional recipe of a Russian honey cake that involves melting honey and eggs in a pot over the hot water, rolling the dough and cleaning the sticky mess afterwards. Imagine that!! This one is priceless, the dough is very soft and flexible, doesn't break when you scrape it off the paper. Took me about 1,5-2 hrs max to whip the the whole thing. Love it!!!

The cake flavours were fabulous. I am quite a baking novice so please excuse my comments and questions if a more advanced cook. I used baking "wax" paper to bake on, and some layers came off more cleanly than others - possibly due to me not paying attention to which side of the paper I used! But I found there was plenty of batter for 5 sheets. I was unable to remove it neatly from the dish....so instead served it up in slices (squares). Regardless it received rave reviews and was one of the first cakes gone at a function with many other options.

Beautiful in it's simplicity! Spreading out the thin layers is easiest of done all at once using lots of counter space. My first try I used a 9 X 13. The servings looked great. The whole cake would look outstanding in a trifle bowl. This can also lend itsef easily to a low-sugar and low carb variation as the cake layers are so thin
