Ingredients

For the cake:

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup milk, warmed
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt

For the filling:

1 cup heavy cream
1 cup vanilla pudding (prepared)

For the topping:

1 cup sliced almonds
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup granulated sugar

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine warm milk and yeast. Let it stand for about 5 minutes until foamy.
Stir in melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract into the yeast mixture. Mix well.
Add flour and salt gradually, stirring until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough for about 5-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Once risen, punch down the dough and spread it into a greased baking pan. Let it rest for another 30 minutes.
While the dough is resting, prepare the almond topping by melting butter in a saucepan. Stir in sugar and honey until well combined. Remove from heat and fold in sliced almonds.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Evenly spread the almond mixture over the dough.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool completely in the pan.
Once cooled, slice the cake in half horizontally. Spread the vanilla pudding on the bottom layer and top with whipped cream. Place the top layer back on.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.

Enjoy the sweet indulgence of this Bee Sting Cake, and watch as it becomes a favorite among your family and friends!
