In Polish cuisine, miodownik (Polish: [mjɔˈdɔvɲik] ⓘ, from miód 'honey'; German: Honigkuchen [ˈhoːnɪçˌkuːxn̩] ⓘ) or stefanka is a type of layer cake flavoured with honey, similar to cakes in other Slavic cuisines such as the Russian medovik and Czech medovnik. It is broadly considered a type of piernik, meaning a sweet and/or spiced confectionery good. The recipe for miodownik originates from Galicia (Southeastern Poland) and Central Poland.[1]
