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.

[1] The cake is prepared similarly to sponge cake, which is topped with honey that is melted and then cooled down along with other sugary ingredients.

[2] This recipe found its way into the cuisine of Polish Jews under the name chonek łejkech or chonek (from German honig — 'honey'), together with cuker łejkech (equivalent to biszkopt; a Polish variant of sponge cake) serving as a popular wedding cake.
