Add the eggs to the cooled mixture and beat with a whisk.
On a baking sheet covered with parchment or silicone mat, pour half of the dough and spread it into shape with wet hands. 
Send the cake to the oven, preheated to 180 degrees, and bake for about 10-15 minutes (until golden brown). The cake should darken well, the light cake may be raw. Bake the second cake in the same way.
Cut each cake in half and stack on top of each other. As a result, we will have 4 cakes, which need to be trimmed and cut off uneven edges. Grind the scraps and use them to decorate the honey cake.
To prepare the cream, you need to beat sour cream with sugar.
Grease each cake with the prepared cream (we also grease the top cake with cream). Fold all greased cakes on top of each other, sprinkle the cake with chopped scraps, which we left for decoration. Send to the refrigerator to soak.
In the morning, cut into portions and serve a delicious, delicate, fragrant cake "Honey cake" with a cup of tea or coffee.
Bon Appetit!

10. Bake in the oven, heated to 180ºС, until lightly browned for 6 - 8 minutes. Don't overdry!
11. To make the cake come out smoother, press it for 5 minutes with a board, and then let it cool on the table. Do the same with the second part of the test.
12. At this time, prepare the cream:
- Butter cut into pieces (separately)
- Bring milk mixture to a boil and remove from heat.
- Carefully pour the semolina, constantly stirring with a spatula, quite intensively
- Return the mixture to low heat and stir constantly.
