- Set the baked dough pieces aside and let them cool down. Whisk the cream and powdered sugar well.
- Add the mild cream cheese and mix again.
- Place one of the cooled doughs on a serving plate. Spread the cream you prepared on it and spread it.
- Place the second dough on it in the same way, and spread the cream again.
- Repeat this process until all the pieces are added.

Expert Tips
- Cooking the sugar and butter over low heat prevents the sugar from caramelizing and sticking to the surface.
- For the filling cream, the original recipe uses sour cream and sugar. But you can also use pastry cream.
- Instead of baking each dough at the same time, it is better to bake them one at a time, 5 minutes apart.
- You can enhance the flavor of the Medovik cake by using homemade whipped cream.
