About Medovik
Medovik, also known as honey cake, is a traditional Russian dessert that dates back to the 19th century. It consists of multiple thin layers of honey-infused sponge cakes with a creamy filling, often made using sour cream or condensed milk. Medovik is moderately energy-dense, providing approximately 350 calories per serving with 45 grams of carbohydrates, 15 grams of fat, and 5 grams of protein. While its rich flavor and honey content make it a beloved treat, it is primarily high in sugar and fat, offering limited micronutrient content. It contains modest amounts of calcium and iron but lacks significant fiber, vitamin C, and vitamin D.
