It's probably too late to give advise about the cake, or is it not? This cake is best when kept cool before the serving, as there is sour cream in the cake. However, if it's a matter of a few hours, then a cool larder or the truck of your car will also work.

I promised my husband (1st generation Estonian American) I would bake an Estonian cake or pastry for an event at the Estonian House in New York. I saw your honey cake and thought I would try it but I will not be able to refrigerate before the event. (Wr are traveling and our hotel won't have a refrigerator) Is that ok? Is there another cake you'd suggest? Thanks!!!

I wasn't sure when my eggs were 'pale and thick' so perhaps that was the problem? I beat about 5 minutes, though they became more frothy than thick. I am baking the layers now, but there was no way to roll the dough- I just spread it as best I could. Any ideas on where I went wrong?<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13695947.post-83252903871897648002010-11-29T10:32:07.355+02:002010-11-29T10:32:07.355+02:00Anne - thank you so much for the feedback - I'...Anne - thank you so much for the feedback - I'm thrilled to bits to hear that your friend loved it!!!Pillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05817049547134774699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13695947.post-64034578358706595782010-11-29T10:19:01.698+02:002010-11-29T10:19:01.698+02:00I made this cake for an Estonian friend as a surpr...I made this cake for an Estonian friend as a surprise, and as it turned out, Meekok is her favourite cake! So there was a lot of pressure when she tried her first bite, (I was very nervous!) but she declared that it was even "better than perfect!" (she is a very honest person too!) It was such a beautiful, moist cake, and I loved the use of sour cream in between the layers. The recipe was easy to follow and I think it might now be my favourite cake too! The day after cooking it was even better. But there wasn't much left!Anne Shepherdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03372930776317066896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13695947.post-87540793198844404742008-12-01T07:36:00.000+02:002008-12-01T07:36:00.000+02:00Victor, I've been using a rather mild local honey ...Victor, I've been using a rather mild local honey - but indeed, you could try anything that's not too bitter or strong.

The success of honeycakes like this often depends on the honey used. Would you recommend something light (clover honey), medium (wildflower), dark (buckwheat), or extra-dark (chestnut)? Or would you recommend trying each of them in succession, and baking Meekook for the next few weeks, ha ha! <BR/><BR/>Seriously, though, what kind of honey would you use?Victor Chisholmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07356275329120010883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13695947.post-36190621801661640212008-06-17T14:34:00.000+03:002008-06-17T14:34:00.000+03:00'katie' above said there was no fat in the cake la...'katie' above said there was no fat in the cake layers...

The cream is just sour cream, so it doesn’t go off so quickly. A good one, isn’t it? And yes, K. definitely is something. Something very good :)<BR/><BR/><BR/>K&S – yep, it’s quite easy!<BR/><BR/>Annemarie – thank you! Go ahead – and please let me know what you thought of it. PS You’ll find good-quality sour cream in the Polish shops (ask for smetana, we used 20% one). The Tesco sour cream is also fine, but Sainsbury’s was weird. <BR/><BR/>Chris – thank you!<BR/><BR/>Johanna – I’ve bookmarked the Dobos torte recipe in <A HREF="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0609604538?ie=UTF8&tag=nn01-21&linkCode=as2&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=0609604538" REL="nofollow">Kaffeehaus</A>, too!
