Easter this year is going to be rather small. Jason's on his last stretch of out of town trade shows, so it's just going to be 5 of us at my mom's this year. We won't go over the top on fixings. Just a roast, a few sides, and a dessert or two. I usually handle the meat and dessert portion of our holiday meals, and I thought this year I'd do some buckeyes, because homemade Reese's Eggs are way better than store bought, and this
German Bee-Sting Cake that came from Golden Blossom Honey's recipe index.
This recipe caught my eye because I love a good layer cake and this one seemed so perfect for Easter dessert. A velvety cake with an indulgently sweet cream center topped with crunchy honey nuts and a raspberry spread offers so many irresistible flavors, it will be sure to delight any sweet tooth. As much as I like the cake as a whole, you could also double up on the cream filling, then use that for a fruit dip or as a filling for stuffed strawberries. Or, have no shame like me and just eat the leftovers straight out of the bowl. It is Easter after all. And holiday calories don't count, right?

The topping does sound very sinful and delicious and that little honey pot is so cute. Honey is on discount on Monday, hope I will manage to get some, I usually don't LOL
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter!
Were you able to snag some honey?
DeleteTwo jars, I couldn't carry more in my shoulder bag.
DeleteI'm here to wish you a Happy Easter but that cake deserves a 'wow!' Pinning it to make later (probably not for Easter, but shortly thereafter). What a gorgeous and delicious looking recipe. First I've ever seen one like it!
ReplyDeleteHappy belated Easter! Also, I got your email. Meant to respond sooner but you know me. I'm the worst! Will touch base with you this weekend ♥
