Instructions

1. Melt the honey, brown sugar and butter in a saucepan over low heat, stirring until the mixture is smooth.
2. Off the heat, add the baking soda, beaten eggs and orange zest, then gradually work in the flour.
3. Knead for 5 minutes until you have a soft, non-sticky dough. Divide it into 6 to 8 balls and let them rest for 20 minutes.
4. Roll each ball into a very thin disc and prick it with a fork.
5. Bake the discs one at a time on a tray at 180 °C for 4 to 5 minutes, until golden. Save the trimmings and crush them into crumbs.
6. For the cream, whisk the sour cream with the icing sugar and orange zest until smooth.
7. Assemble the cake by alternating a layer of pastry, a layer of cream and a sprinkling of crumbs, finishing with crumbs.
8. Refrigerate for at least 12 hours before serving so the pastry soaks up the cream.
