14. While the cake is baking, prepare the frosting and decorations.
15. Medovik can be decorated in various ways. For example, just sprinkle with powdered sugar, decorate with nuts, etc. I decided to pour the cake with chocolate icing and sprinkle with walnut kernels.

17. Add milk, mix.
18. We put the mixture on a small fire and, stirring all the time, bring to a boil and completely dissolve the sugar.
