About the dish

Smetannik is a traditional layer cake. It's usually made with a combination of flour, sugar, eggs, honey, and a sour cream frosting consisting of sour cream, vanilla, cream cheese, and milk. The cake is traditionally made in a deep pan. Once done, it is recommended to let smetannik rest in the fridge overnight, and the next day it's cut into individual pieces and served. Smetannik is especially popular at birthdays and similar festive occasions.
