Ingredients:
-2 eggs
-3/4 cup sugar
-1 teaspoon baking soda
-1 tablespoon liquid honey
-1/2 cup unsalted butter
-2 cups flour
Cream Filling:
-3 cups sour cream
-1/2 cup sugar
-zest of one lemon
-1 cup crushed plain sweet biscuit crumbs, for coating
-1 cup pistachios

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2. Beat eggs well with sugar; add baking soda and liquid honey.
3. Melt the butter in a pot; add to the honey mixture.
4. Put on a low heat, add the flour while mixing and mix until the mass is without lumps (the mixture will be very thick and very hard to stir). Remove from heat and cool.
5. Dip the dough in flour, divide into 6-8 balls, roll each layer very thin, cut circles as round, and bake until golden brown; repeat with remaining dough and allow to cool before assembling.
6. Beat sour cream, sugar and lemon zest until the sugar dissolves-the mixture will still be fairly liquid.
7. Coat each layer with a generous layer of cream; assemble the cake, coat the sides with cream and sprinkle top and sides with crumbs.
8. Sprinkle with pistachios or any other nuts.
9. Allow to set at least 6 hours before eating.
