In this episode we discover the absolute joy that is Medovik, or Russian Honey Cake: a towering layer cookie-cake held together with sweet cream filling. It won over the heart of a Russian Empress, and we can only hope it will win over your heart too, dear listener! Unrelated to honey cake, I want to apologize in advance that during this episode Jules sounds like she is recording from the bottom of a very deep well, or perhaps from an adjacent room while sitting in a bathtub. We assure you neither was the case. We are working to fix this issue for next episode. Let's Bake History is a pseudo-educational comedy podcast exploring the origin stories of all your favorite baked goods. Each week co-hosts Emma and Jules dig into new breads, cakes, cookies, pies, pastries and more – to bring you the details on their nefarious histories and modern incarnations.
