Greek yogurt is lower in fat and adds creaminess.

cream cheese

🥗Healthier: ricotta cheese

💰Cheaper: mascarpone

Ricotta is lighter and less expensive.

walnuts

🥗Healthier: almonds

💰Cheaper: pecans

Almonds are lower in calories and still provide crunch.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

In a mixing bowl, combine butter, honey, eggs, and sugar. Mix until well blended.

Add baking soda to the mixture and stir until combined.

Gradually add flour to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.

Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each into thin layers.

Bake each layer in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes until golden.

Allow the layers to cool completely on a wire rack.

In a separate bowl, whip together sour cream, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar until smooth.

Spread a layer of the cream mixture between each baked layer, stacking them to form a cake.

Chill the assembled cake in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow flavors to meld.
