It IS delicious. But SO much work. Each one of those layers is individually rolled out and baked from the batter that needs a double boiler to make properly. My wife makes this once or twice a year. So good. :)

Preparations: Melt 3 T butter in double boiler, add 1 cup of sugar, and 3 eggs. Mix well. Then add 2 T alcohol (vodka or rum) and 2 T honey, 2 t baking soda. Mix occasionally until batter becomes white and doubles in size. Add 2 cups of flour, mix well. Pour batter into bowl, add 1 cup flour, mix, cover with towel. Let stand until not hot (but still warm). Divide into 10-12 equal parts. Roll them into thin circles (like pie crusts). Bake them individually; sprinkle pan with flour before first one.
Cream: beat 1 cup heavy cream until thick. In a separate bowl beat 1 can of sour cream with 1 cup of sugar, add vanilla. Then add spoon by spoon whipped cream to the sour cream mixture.
Put 1 layer of cake, then cream - repeat to the end. Cut sides to make round. Crumble extra cake bits and use them to decorate the top and sides (you can use your own ideas as well).
