Medovik, a dessert specific to Russian cuisine, translates to "honey cake" and is typically prepared as a multi-layered cake. Each layer consists of thinly sliced cake layers spread with honey, cream, or caramel in between. Then, the cake is assembled, usually with at least six or more layers. The top layer is often coated with a cream made with caramelized sugar, and the cake is allowed to rest in the refrigerator. Medovik has a mildly sweet flavor and is a popular Russian cake commonly served on special occasions or celebrations.
