BEE STING CAKE
This richly layered bee sting cake gets its name (bienenstich, in German) from a honey glaze that's applied to the dough before baking.

Steps:
- Cake:Combine milk, honey, and yeast in a liquid measuring cup, and let stand in a warm place until foamy, about 5 minutes. Combine milk mixture with flour, butter, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook. Mix together on high speed until mixture begins to form a ball and is smooth, about 4 minutes. Form dough into a ball using your hands. Place in a buttered bowl, and turn to coat. Cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place until doubled, 45 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes. Punch down dough (but make and cool glaze first).
- Glaze:After dough has risen 30 minutes, melt butter and honey in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in confectioners' sugar and salt until smooth. Stir in almonds until well coated. Let cool.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Butter an 8-inch square baking pan, and line with parchment, leaving a 2-inch overhang on 2 sides. Butter parchment. Roll out dough into a 7-inch square on a lightly floured surface. Transfer to pan, and press evenly into bottom of pan. Spread glaze over dough (if it has congealed, reheat slightly, but make sure it's not hot). Cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place until dough is almost doubled and does not spring back when pressed, about 20 minutes. Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes, rotating once. Let cool in pan 20 minutes on a wire rack. Lift out of pan using parchment, and let cool completely on rack, about 2 hours.
- Pastry cream:While cake is cooling, mix together granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Place egg yolks in a medium bowl, then whisk sugar mixture into egg yolks until smooth. Meanwhile, bring milk and 3 tablespoons honey to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Pour a small amount into egg mixture, whisking constantly. Gradually whisk remaining milk mixture into egg mixture; when thoroughly combined, pour back into pan. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until mixture thickens and begins to boil; continue to cook and whisk until mixture is very thick, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat, and whisk in butter and vanilla. Transfer pastry cream to a bowl, and cover surface with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until completely cold, at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
- Whisk pastry cream in a medium bowl until smooth. Whisk heavy cream with remaining 2 tablespoons honey in a separate bowl until medium peaks form. Fold a third of pastry cream into whipped-cream mixture with a rubber spatula. Fold whipped cream mixture into remaining pastry cream in 2 additions.
- Cut cake in half horizontally with a serrated knife. Spread pastry-cream mixture on bottom layer, leaving a 1-inch border. Place remaining cake half, almond side up, on top, and press gently to push cream out to the edges. Refrigerate until chilled through, at least 45 minutes and up to 3 hours. Slice with a serrated knife, and serve.

- To make the dough: Combine all of the dough ingredients and mix, then knead — by hand, mixer, or bread machine — until the mixture forms a smooth, supple dough., Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turn to grease all sides, cover the bowl with a proof cover or plastic wrap, and let it rise for 60 minutes, until it's puffy., To shape the dough: Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled work surface, fold it over to expel any excess gas, then divide it in half.
- Place the circles into two lightly greased 8" cake pans; don't worry if the dough shrinks away from the edges of the pans., Cover with plastic, and allow it to rise/rest for 30 minutes — the gluten will relax, making the dough easier to work with — then gently stretch and pat it to reach the edge.
- Make the topping while the dough is rising., To make the topping: Melt the butter in a small saucepan set over medium heat.

- To make the dough, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, lemon zest and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer with the dough hook attachment fitted. Gently heat the milk and the butter in a small saucepan until the butter is just melted, remove from the heat and allow to cool for 2-3 minutes before pouring into the bowl with the other ingredients.
- Knead for 5 minutes until the dough is soft and supple, then shape the dough into a ball, cover with a sheet of cling film and return to the bowl. Cover with a clean tea towel and leave to rise in a warm spot for 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, make the filling by whisking 100ml of the milk together with the cornstarch, sugar, egg yolks and vanilla extract. Heat the remaining milk and cream in a medium saucepan until small bubbles begin to form around the sides of the pan.
- Pour the milk and cornstarch mixture into the hot milk and whisk constantly until thickened, taking care not to let the mixture boil. Scrape back into the bowl, press a piece of cling film directly onto the surface and set aside to cool completely at room temperature.

- Put the flour into a large mixing bowl and add the dry yeast (check packaging instructions to make sure it doesn't have to be dissolved in water or milk first). Sprinkle the sugar on top. Now add the lukewarm milk and the vanilla extract and knead everything using the spiral dough hooks of your electric mixer.
- Add the soft butter, and egg and keep kneading the dough for around 5 minutes until it forms a ball and no longer sticks to the sides of the bowl. If the dough is too sticky, add a little bit more flour. If it is too crumbly, add a little bit more milk and knead again.
- Place a towel or lid over the bowl and let the ball of dough rise for 1 hour in a warm place without a draft.
