Bee Sting Cake Now that we’ve got your attention, let’s get down to business. Here’s what you’ll need to whip up this bee-utiful cake!

Ingredients:

For the Cake:
1 cup milk
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 packet active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
1/2 cup sugar
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
For the Filling:
2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Topping:
1 cup sliced almonds
1/2 cup honey
1 tablespoon corn syrup

Instructions:

Warm the milk and butter in a saucepan until the butter melts. Allow it to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the yeast, sugar, and warm milk mixture. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
Add in the flour, salt, and eggs. Mix it until a dough forms, then knead it for about 5-10 minutes until smooth. Place it in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for about an hour or until doubled in size.
While your dough is partying, let’s make the topping! In a saucepan, combine honey, corn syrup, and almond slices. Cook until it’s bubbly and golden. Set aside to cool.
After the dough has risen, punch it down and spread it into a greased baking dish. Spread the almond mixture over the top, and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 25-30 minutes.
Once baked, let it cool completely. While it’s cooling, whip the heavy cream with sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
Slice the cake horizontally. Spread the whipped cream between the layers and put it back together.
Slice, serve, and enjoy the sweet taste of victory!

And there you have it! One spectacular Bee Sting Cake that’ll send your taste buds dancing. Remember to share a slice with your friends (or keep it all for yourself, no judgment here). Happy baking!
