baking a honey cake for my boyfriend’s birthday 🍯 private boat trip ⛵

Baking a traditional Honey Cake (Medovik) for my boyfriend's birthday, followed by a private boat trip along the turquoise coast of Kekova 🎂⛵ Every year, I bake a special birthday cake for Mr. D. This time, inspired by a TikTok recipe, I baked a tender 12-layer Medovik filled with custard cream and topped with his favorite things: fresh green figs and gummy bears! We rented a boat with friends to explore one of our favorite coastal routes in Antalya - diving into crystal-clear bays, floating over the Sunken City of Kekova, and taking in the breathtaking views from Simena Castle. Grab a cozy drink and join us for this celebration! 📋 INGREDIENTS (12 layers / 22.5 cm) For the Honey Dough: 80g (⅓ cup) Unsalted Butter 80g (⅓ cup) Sugar Pinch of Salt 150g (½ cup) Honey 1 tsp Baking Soda 2 Medium Eggs 470g (3 ¾ cups) All-Purpose Flour For the Custard Cream : 500ml (2 cups) Whole Milk 2 Eggs 100g (½ cup) Sugar 2 tbsp All-Purpose Flour (or cornstarch) ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 — Birthday vlog intro ✨ 00:42 — Baking 12 thin honey cake layers 06:53 — Making the classic custard cream 11:50 — Decorating with fresh figs & gummy bears 🐻 13:28 — Birthday cake for breakfast! 17:26 — Renting a boat to Kekova & Simena Castle ⛵🌊 ✨ ABOUT ME Hi, I’m Karina! 🌿 Welcome to my quiet corner of the internet.
