I made lemon medovik, a sweet Russian honey cake with lemon curd. Lemon and honey are a good combination, so the taste is very delicious. Personally, I think the cake with lemon curd is better than the basic Medovic. Ice cream uses sour cream which is a characteristic of Medovic, and at the same time creates a refreshing feeling, so it goes well with the aromatic lemon flavor. This time I used a mousse mold to create the shape by putting the filling in the mold, but if you don’t have a mold you can make it like a regular cake icing. Baking each cake is a bit difficult, but it’s a cake you can be proud of after making it
