Instructions
  1. Whisk together each batter in its own bowl until they are lump free. Set aside at least an hour or overnight if possible.
  2. Right before cooking, adjust the egg batter with flour or milk until it is somewhere between the thickness of crêpes and pancakes.
  3. Turn on the broiler and oil a large springform pan.
  4. Add one layer of egg batter. Brown under the broiler for about 2-4 minutes.
  5. Spread with a few spoonfuls of sour cream batter. Then, using the squeeze bottle, layer the batter around the pan like the rays of the sun and broil again.
  6. Once the spokes have cooked, brush with more dairy mixture and then squeeze on some more batter between the most recent spokes.
  7. Repeat process, broiling after every dairy and flour batter addition.
  8. Eventually the pan fills up.. little by little.
  9. Drizzle honey when serving.
Recipe Notes

I highly suggest mixing the batters the night before and then making the cake the next day, after the lumps have had time to disperse. Also, you’ll need a squeeze bottle or a empty plastic bottle, the lack of control from a batter bowl makes the project overly difficult. I got a squeeze bottle for 99 cents at the grocery store.
