This cake was created at the request of my niece, who was looking for a recipe without eggs. It is known as “honey heart” or “bear paw,” although it does not contain honey. Its shape and taste resemble store-bought honey, while its size and preparation method evoke a bear paw.

Directions
In a bowl, combine the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, cinnamon, and baking soda). ≈ 4 min
and pour it into a greased and floured (or parchment-lined) baking dish. ≈ 3 min
Don’t worry about the pale color the dough has taken on. ≈ 3 min
Bake for 30 minutes at 200 degrees, or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
Now, let the cake cool completely.
Once it has reached room temperature, the jam will begin to thicken slightly. ≈ 3 min
The traditional recipe involves a hard pastry dough, meaning it does not contain any oil paint. ≈ 3 min
If you wish, you can leave it as is, or, if you prefer, you can start by preparing a chocolate glaze. ≈ 3 min
Crush the chocolate and add a little butter or margarine. ≈ 4 min
I started by melting it in the microwave until it reached that consistency. ≈ 3 min
Next, I mixed everything together until I achieved a smooth, glossy texture, then I poured the mixture onto a cooled dough and baked it in the oven.
I’m leaving this message at the end: I know that some of you are considering it. ≈ 3 min
But don’t try to leave it out. ≈ 3 min
At all costs =) ≈ 3 min
